E-Grand Tour of Switzerland

train.svg Climate-friendly travel
Travel by public transport such as train, bus or boat. Switzerland has the densest transport network in the world, meaning you can reach any destination easily and conveniently.
summer.svg Save energy and resources
Observe energy and water-saving measures in your accommodation: turn off lights and electronic devices when not in use and limit towel and bedding changes.
benefit_0.svg Support local products and businesses
Choose accommodation, restaurants and shops that use regional produce and are run by local businesses. This supports the local economy and minimises the environmental impact of transporting produce.
spring.svg Respect nature
Respect flora and fauna by disposing of rubbish properly, staying on marked hiking trails and protecting sensitive ecosystems such as lakes and forests. Take nothing but photos and memories and leave only footprints.
hiking.svg Hiking and cycling
Explore Switzerland sustainably by hiking or cycling as a means of transport. There are numerous well-marked hiking and cycling trails that take you through breathtaking landscapes.
restaurant.svg Reduce plastic consumption
Avoid buying single-use plastic products. Carry a reusable drinks bottle made from glass or stainless steel instead and take a reusable shopping bag with you to avoid plastic bags.
