With its mighty mountains, turquoise-blue lakes and enchanted forests, Switzerland is a unique travel destination. Switzerland plays a pioneering role when it comes to sustainability – not only in terms of the landscape, but also in terms of its outstanding infrastructure. SWITZERLAND AS A SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL DESTINATION Mobility: Every day, 9,000 trains run along the roughly 3,000-kilometer rail network. Water: Switzerland invites guests to swim in the heart of its cities – a truly unique experience. With around 1,500 lakes, Switzerland is seen as Europe’s water reservoir and is home to the sources of many major rivers, including the Rhine and the Rhône. Nature conservation: A total of 19 Swiss parks make up more than one-eighth of the country’s land area (5,269 km2). Recycling: Switzerland is one of the world’s leading countries in recycling and waste management, with almost 90% of PET bottles being put to new use through recycling. SWISSTAINABLE INCENTIVE EXPERIENCES Grand Train Tour of Switzerland: Experience one of the world’s most scenic train journeys, from Swiss cities to alpine resorts and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Choose the full 1,280- kilometer route or opt for shorter excursions, such as the “Glaciers & Palm Trees” tour, where frosty mountain landscapes give way to a Mediterranean climate. Cheese fondue on the Rhine: Enjoy a traditional Swiss fondue on the Rhine River in Basel. Discover wild Bees: In the heart of Zurich, the bees are busy. On a discovery tour, participants see first-hand why these insects are so important to both us and nature. Alpine game team challenge: Challenge your team with fun team activities in the middle of the Swiss Alps.
