Sustainable Switzerland
Switzerland – the champion in sustainability. Its long-term efforts – from consistent recycling to strict requirements for construction projects – are regularly refl ected in top rankings in international sustainability rankings, such as its third place in the Global Sustainability Index 2021.
Public transport – eco-friendly without compromise.
Public transport in Switzerland is not only one of the most environmentally friendly in the world but the most beautiful and inspiring way to discover Switzerland. Examples of its efforts to become even greener are numerous: PostBus, which provides access to the most remote corners of Switzerland, is steadily expanding the number of electric postbuses, the fi rst all-electric, year-round passenger ship recently began operating on Lake Lugano, and with the Staubernbahn, Switzerland has its fi rst cable car powered exclusively by solar energy.
Swisstainable committed accommodation – a new era begins.
Sustainability has been an integral part of business management for many lodging companies for years. The comprehensive sustainability program “Swisstainable” gives a face to these long-standing efforts aiming for more sustainable overnight stays. Swisstainable means caring for people and the environment, conserving resources, operating responsibly, and pampering guests with high-quality products and services.
Conscious consumption – culinary heritage reinvented.
The remoteness of many Alpine valleys has given rise to countless culinary specialties, resulting in a culinary diversity that leaves nothing to be desired. Discovering these ancient dishes – original or reinvented – is a real pleasure. Numerous dedicated chefs have made it their business to reinterpret the culinary heritage of Switzerland for their guests: Organic products from the surrounding countryside and the mindful use of selected animal products stand for conscious consumption and revive traditional Switzerland in an innovative way.
