We obtain the "Llum Verda" seal for the use of renewable energy
The Andorran electricity company, FEDA, certifies us with the "Llum Verda" seal for renewable energy.
At Park Piolets Mountain Hotel & Spa, we are proud of our firm commitment to sustainability. In our continuous search for environmentally friendly practices, we have made the choice to use energy from renewable sources. This effort has been recognised with the award of the "Llum Verda" certificate, a distinction that ensures that our energy is produced in a sustainable way in Andorra. We are committed to protecting the natural environment around us, and this is just one aspect of our contribution to environmental conservation.
Energy sustainability actions at the hotel
We have achieved the "Llum Verda" label thanks to improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions in the hotel.
Since the last refurbishment in 2019, we have been using Ecotermia, instead of gasoil. A form of clean energy obtained from the cogeneration process that uses natural gas as a raw material. This fossil fuel has a lower environmental impact compared to others. Through the Soldeu cogeneration plant, the energy needed to supply hot water and heating is produced.
To prevent heat loss, we renew the insulation and waterproofing of our rooms.
And with the latest refurbishment of the spa, we have also managed to reduce water and electricity consumption.
"Llum verda" (Green Light), Andorra's sustainable certificate
"Llum verda" (Green Light) is the seal of sustainability issued by FEDA (Forces Elèctriques d'Andorra), the country's main electricity company, to companies or entities in the country that use green energy. This term refers to energy obtained from natural resources and renewable sources, such as hydro, wind and solar, which harness the power of water, wind and sun respectively. FEDA's core business is geared towards hydroelectric power plant, which is 100% renewable and since 2019 it has also promoted the use of "clean" energy sources in its imports. This green energy is currently available through the Llum Verda certificate.
We are driven by our commitment
The mountains inspire us to commit ourselves to the protection of the environment and the preservation of our country's natural heritage. This dedication, which we have cultivated over the years, has been reflected in our management and operational processes. Being so closely linked to our natural environment, we understand the importance of acting responsibly and carefully.
At Park Piolets MountainHotel & Spa we have implemented a series of sustainability measures that complement the energy improvements.
- In the spa we use a magnesium salt filtering system, which is much more natural and environmentally friendly than other disinfection systems, to remove bacteria and impurities from the water. At the same time, this system is also much healthier for the skin and hair of our clients.
- We have charging points for electric cars.
- We participate in the National Waste Plan of the Government of Andorra, to reduce waste and encourage recycling and reuse. And also to avoid food waste.
- In terms of purchasing, we give priority to local suppliers. Whenever possible, we buy in bulk (to reduce packaging) and buy natural, seasonal and fresh products.
- We use Km0 water that comes from the drinking water network, filtered before serving. With this action we reduce CO2 from transport and single-use packaging.

Every day we strive to improve and do our bit to make the planet a better place.
