Sustainable travel
in Switzerland
It’s time for a new kind of travel. Sustainable travel
doesn’t necessarily mean having to go without. Here are
some ideas for your next trip:
CONCIERGE
Hop on a train
In Switzerland, public transport will also
take you to smaller and more remote places,
and, with 9,000 trains a day, you’re sure to
find a suitable connection. What’s more,
Swiss Federal Railways will carry your winter
luggage from station to station, or even
from door to door, so that you can enjoy your
journey in a relaxed and environmentally
friendly way whatever the weather.
Enjoy responsible cuisine
The Michelin Guide has introduced a new
symbol for 2021: the green star is awarded
for sustainability in the restaurant industry.
You can enjoy fine dining with regional
products in the 19 listed restaurants, safe
in the knowledge that a responsible approach
is taken with regard to animals and
the environment.
Protect the winter
An NGO called “Protect Our Winters” organises,
among other things, ski touring and
freeride weekends with climate protection
experts. This means you can be guided
safely through the mountains and at the
same time find out what you can do to ensure
that winter experiences in the mountains
are still possible in 50 years’ time.
Spend time in the cities
Switzerland’s cities are bursting with creative
minds who are also committed to the issue
of sustainability in their businesses and
who live this out in the form of locally, fairly
produced products or innovative restaurant
projects. All of these can be discovered on a
city trip.
Campaign for greater sustainability
Swisstainable sheds light on what is already available in terms
of sustainability and creates an incentive for new ideas.
