Our GSTC Certification
Our verified commitment to sustinable tourism int the Dolomites
Camping AL PLAN Dolomites has obtained certification in accordance with the standards of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), which defines international criteria for sustainable tourism.
The certification was issued in 2025 by Vireo, an accredited independent body, with certificate number HAVR250152. This certification attests that the facility has been evaluated according to environmental, social, and management criteria, including:
resource management (energy, water), waste management, protection of the local area and community. The practices adopted are periodically verified as part of the certification system.
OUR COMMITMENT TO NATURE AND THE ECOSYSTEM
Every encounter with nature leaves a mark. When we enter natural environments, we become part of a delicate balance that involves animals, plants, and the land.
Wild animals can be sensitive to human presence: getting too close, making noise, or leaving food can affect their behavior.
That is why we encourage responsible practices during your stay, such as maintaining a safe distance, staying on the trails, and respecting the surrounding environment.
We support environmental education and awareness initiatives, with the goal of promoting greater awareness.
We believe that understanding nature is the first step toward respecting it.

Cleaning and Environmental Care
At Camping AL PLAN Dolomites, we follow cleaning practices that take environmental impact into account, using carefully selected products and managing our operations with a focus on resource conservation.
Among the measures we have adopted: controlled use of detergents and separate waste collection
These practices are part of the facility’s daily management.
We invite our guests to participate by making small, responsible choices during their stay.
Recyling: a shared commitment
Camping AL PLAN Dolomites features a dedicated recycling area equipped with bins for sorting waste.
To facilitate proper management, we provide guests with an informational guide and a bag for collecting organic waste.
We invite you to contribute through simple daily actions, both during your stay and when shopping, by reducing packaging and choosing recyclable materials whenever possible.
Water use: guidelines for guests
Water is a vital resource, and its careful use is an integral part of daily operations at Camping AL PLAN Dolomites.
We encourage our guests to use water responsibly during their stay, for example by avoiding waste in their daily activities.
The water at the campground is potable, in accordance with current regulations. For this reason, we encourage the use of tap water as an alternative to purchasing plastic bottles.
This choice helps reduce the use of single-use plastic during your stay.
Monitoring of consumption and waste
We have begun monitoring waste, fuel, water consumption, and wastewater. Although the data is still preliminary, this helps us understand how to manage resources more responsibly.
Commitment to the local community
At Camping AL PLAN Dolomites, we support local activities through concrete actions, such as:
participating in local cultural events and initiatives, promoting local tourism activities among our guests.
In this way, we help promote the region and create opportunities for the community, fostering sustainable and responsible tourism development.
Sustainable Mobility
At Camping AL PLAN Dolomites, we promote sustainable mobility among our guests.
We offer the Kronplatz Guest Pass, a card that allows you to use public transportation within the province for free, reducing the need to travel by car.
For those who prefer two wheels, we partner with the San Vigilio Bike School, offering the opportunity to rent bicycles and participate in guided mountain bike tours during the summer season.
These initiatives allow you to explore the Dolomites in a more responsible and environmentally friendly way.
Inclusion
As an accommodation provider, we take steps to prevent discrimination and promote a respectful and inclusive environment.
Specifically:
- We ensure a warm welcome for guests of all origins, ages, and backgrounds
- We provide clear information about our services to promote accessibility and participation
We welcome every guest in accordance with our values of inclusion, participation, and mutual respect, and we monitor guest satisfaction and feedback to continuously improve the camping experience.
Commitment to combating exploitation and harassment
We promote a safe and respectful environment, free from exploitation and harassment, including sex tourism.
Specifically:
- Staff support: We provide opportunities for staff to share their work experiences and be heard, fostering trust and creating safe spaces to report any problematic situations.
- Guest support: We are available to receive reports and provide assistance if situations
of distress or unlawful behavior arise.
Cooperation with law enforcement: We report unlawful behavior to prevent risks and ensure everyone’s safety.
Wildcamping
We would like to inform all our visitors that, as in many other regions of Italy, wild camping is prohibited in South Tyrol—including within nature parks such as the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ban applies to all forms of camping, including staying overnight in tents, RVs, or trailers. This prohibited practice causes damage to the environment and disturbs wildlife.
Accessibility and comfort
At Camping AL PLAN***-Dolomites, we want everyone to be able to enjoy a relaxing vacation.
That’s why we offer private bathrooms, which can be booked separately, as well as a barrier-free bathroom designed for guests with limited mobility, available free of charge.
The bathroom is easily accessible, spacious, and equipped with specific amenities that comply with accessibility regulations.
We strive every day to make our campground a welcoming place for our guests, offering services that meet a variety of needs. For more information or special requests, please don’t hesitate to contact us: we’ll be happy to assist you in planning your vacation.
