LEFAY RESORTS LEADS SUSTAINABILITY IN THE DOLOMITES

PINZOLO, ITALY (April 18, 2024) – Celebrate Earth Day with a spring escape to Italy’s sustainable spa resort, Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti. Respect nature while pampering yourself at Lefay SPA World, one of the largest spas in the alpine region at 53,000-square-feet. The resort’s sustainable design and practices have earned it Green Globe certification and many other accolades for preserving nature and community.

Lefay Resort features 88 Suites, 21 residences and 2 restaurants and is nestled in the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Italian Dolomite mountain range, within its Adamello Brenta National Park, a protected zone of valleys, lakes, forests and glaciers established to conserve the extraordinary unspoiled beauty of the area.

Its expansive Lefay SPA World includes indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas and steam rooms of varying temperatures and aromas, state-of-the-art gym, a floor dedicated to treatment and several specific relaxation areas.

Guests can sample different activities each morning in the clear mountain air with trained mountain guides, followed by spa treatments and energy rebalancing activities each afternoon, including explorations into the five different “pathways” of the resort’s Lefay SPA World.

Each pathway is devised to target the five elements of Classical Chinese Medicine and the season and energies they represent. The program is designed to detoxify and rebalance the energy flow and re-establish vital functions within the body.

A SUSTAINABLE STAY

Consistent with the first property of the collection, Lefay Resort & Spa on Lake Garda, the Dolomiti resort has been designed and built with respect for the environment thanks to a careful architectural integration into the surrounding countryside and installation of latest-generation technologies that reduce energy and water consumption, as well as the use of renewable green energy.

Lefay Dolomiti’s structure is a contemporary interpretation of traditional architectural styles, designed to blend into the landscape, and harness passive solar energy throughout the day. State-of-the-art technologies allow the resort to produce electrical energy, heating and cooling, through its own biomass plant, cogeneration plant and free cooling system. Management software has been implemented to reduce energy and water consumption, together with a careful environmental policy towards waste disposal and Guests' awareness.

In alignment with the Lefay Total Green project, the Resort totally offsets its emissions in conformity with the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol. Lefay Dolomiti is ClimaHotel® certified, a seal of sustainability for accommodation facilities that successfully contribute to the sustainable development of the company, both through the integration of innovative and sustainable technologies, and through strategic measures in management practices. Sustainability is thus applied and made visible also to Guests, certifying that their holidays are spent in a sustainable Resort. Consistent with the first Property on Lake Garda, Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti is also certified with ISO certifications (9001, 14001 and 14064) and Green Globe.
