A more sustainable Gstaad

«We are accountable not only for what we do, but also for what we do not do.» (Molière)

«A more sustainable Gstaad» is the process for making tourism in the holiday region Gstaad as climate-friendly and sustainable as possible. It is less about perfection and more about a holistic and long-term approach to the topic. It is an honest endeavour to combine alpine enjoyment with sustainability.

We are aware of our responsibility for the sustainable development of our destination and are doing our utmost to ensure that our grandchildren will still be able to travel to our region and experience all its fascinating beauty and diversity – applying the «grandchildren test» of sustainability.

For us, sustainable tourism takes the following dimensions into account:

  • economic performance (strengthening the regional economy, long-term investment planning, etc.)
  • ecological responsibility (preservation of natural resources, energy efficiency and use of renewable energies, etc.)
  • social solidarity (equal treatment, health, quality of life, education, participation, etc.)
  • the right of future generations to shape the future
Our vision and strategy
Patrick Bauer is sitting on his bike. He is wearing a white/blue striped top and a black rucksack. He is protecting his head with a grey helmet. Behind him you can see a green meadow and the sun is shining.

Sustainability is very important to me personally. It requires change - from all of us. This change offers so many opportunities. We just have to seize them!
