Swisstainable

Blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, clean air and a thriving biodiversity, Switzerland invites you to travel lightly. Its sustainable strategy ‘Swisstainable’ extends right across the board, from an abiding commitment to climate and environmental change, the countrywide rollout of greener hydro-electric and solar power as well as recycling and waste management. This low-impact ethos extends to the conscientious curatorship of peerless natural landscapes and historic locations to preserve them for the enjoyment of future generations of Swiss nationals and visitors alike.

The public transport infrastructure is a dream with regional incentives and free travel passes, services that run on time and access to remote corners and mountain villages. With more than three million travel cards sold every year, explore the lakes and mountains with a low carbon footprint, thanks to the Swiss Travel Guide app valid on trains, boats and buses. Switzerland is also a cycling and walking paradise, with a co-ordinated network of trails and footpaths, inviting the visitor to stay longer and delve deeper into local culture, to experience nature up close and personal.
