Sustainable partners

We are jointly committed to «A more sustainable Gstaad» and sustainability in general. We maintain various partnerships in which we support each other to become more sustainable together. Discover more:

Swisstainable companies

The Swisstainable programme, run by the Swiss Tourism Federation, is designed to help guests identify which businesses are already taking concrete steps to promote greater sustainability in tourism. This programme views sustainable travel not as a sacrifice, but as a more mindful and enjoyable way to travel. Guests are encouraged to consume regional produce wherever possible during their stay and to experience the local culture authentically.

In the holiday region Gstaad, there are already many businesses that hold the highest rating in the Swisstainable programme and are thus setting an example for sustainability:

On the left in the foreground of the picture you can see the Hotel Palace - a white castle building. Around it you can see many green trees, wooded hills and at the back of the picture mountains with some snow on them. A green sticker is positioned on the top right-hand side. It says Swisstainable III - Leading and a small Swiss cross.

The holiday region Gstaad is a Swisstainable Level III - Leading destination

OK:GO Initiative

OK:GO supports tourism providers in Switzerland to collect and publish information on the accessibility of their offers and services. This makes it easier for people with disabilities, senior citizens and families with small children to plan their trips. 

The holiday region Gstaad and its service providers strive to publish information about the accessibility of as many infrastructures as possible on the specially developed app ginto or on the respective websites. Added value for everyone!
