Interview to Elisa Franzoni from hotel Central a Moena
How does your eco-hospitality project come to life?
We thought about a staying for people who, even on holiday, promote respect for the environment without giving up to the comfort that a 4-star hotel is able to guarantee.
Which characteristics make your eco-hospitality unique?
We offer a zero-meter breakfast. All the cakes, in fact, come from our pastry (50 meters from the hotel), while the other products, like milk or cheeses, are all zero-mile, coming from different suppliers of the Valley.
Furthermore, we offer the possibility to explore the natural surroundings with wonderful long walkings mentored by our local touristic guide.
We love the idea of reducing car pollution. In front of our hotel, there’s a bus stop, from which it always leave a shuttle sharing that, both in summer and winter, leads tourists to mountain passes, so they don’t need to move by car. In winter, the service is useful for them to reach the different ski resorts of their interest.
We give detailed information to our guest in order for them to reach the Central Hotel with a combination of train and bus (50 meters from the Hotel) if they wish to do so.

They offer pollution-free breathtaking and authentic views. The Hotel is only 19 kilometers away from Carrezza Lake and 5 minutes from the cableway Ronchi – Valbona.

Among the green initiatives:
- energy-saving bulbs,
- 100% renewable sources for energy,
- information to the guest about the ecological practices to reduce polluted-detergents consumption with the use of signs for changing of towels.
For what concern sustainable mobility, an aspect we are really into, we provided the hotel’s guest with a free mountain-bikes service to live zero-impact unforgettable adventures.
What does it mean to be an “Ecobnb” and an “Alpine Pearl”?
It means to offer the most ecological solution inside Moena, the most beautiful place in the Dolomites!
