Established in 2008, st martin chalets made history as Austria’s first energy self-sufficient, environmentally responsible chalet village, setting new benchmarks in sustainable alpine tourism. Built using untreated regional timber, sheep’s wool insulation, and powered by a blend of solar, wind, and originally biomass energy, the village has been featured in leading European and international media for its forward-thinking approach to green travel.
"Our vision from the beginning was to create something authentic, sustainable, and deeply rooted in the landscape and culture of Lungau," said Jodi Venner, co-founder of st martin chalets. "Celebrating this anniversary is not only a personal milestone, but a moment to recognize the growing global demand for luxury travel that’s both meaningful and regenerative."
Located just 20 minutes from the renowned ski resort of Obertauern and surrounded by over 1,000 km of alpine trails, st martin chalets offers year-round experiences for discerning travellers, including guided UNESCO Biosphere hikes, regional culinary tastings, eco-friendly spa facilities, and family- and pet-friendly lodging designed to blend seamlessly with the alpine terrain.
As part of its celebration, the resort is introducing a series of new “Biosphere Retreat” packages, which include immersive wellness and nature experiences curated by local experts. Guests will also enjoy exclusive tours showcasing the chalets’ innovative energy systems, natural spring water sourcing, and zero-waste operations.
"We’ve always believed luxury should enhance the world, not extract from it," added Jodi Venner, UNESCO-certified Biosphere Ranger and co-founder. "This anniversary is a tribute to our guests, team, and the Lungau community who’ve helped us prove that sustainability and sophistication go hand in hand."
