Madly Green

Where and how the materials we use are manufactured, is as important as the sustainable nature of the materials themselves

Solar panels: were manufactured 40 km from Mad Mount, using renewable energy only.
Wood: most of our hotel is built in wood sourced from sustainable Swiss forests and processed by “Les Artisans du Bois” in Monthey, 57km away from the Mad Retreat
Eco-friendly Benches: Crafted using recycled fabric from plastic bottles, our benches aren’t just stylish – they’re a testament to our commitment to sustainability.
Certified Fabrics: Every piece of fabric across our hotel, from upholstery to blackout curtains, has been mindfully chosen. Made with recycled fibers, they address the urgent need for environmental preservation and proudly bear a global “recycled standard” certification.
Artful Upcycling: We embrace creativity with sustainability. Some of our unique artworks incorporate leftover fabric, turning waste into beautiful pieces.
