Sustainable holidays

Go green!


Sustainability is an issue that is close to the heart of the entire Bellinzona e Valli region: it is good to choose a holiday that respects the environment, the economy and society.
First and foremost, it is important to choose the most appropriate method of transport, such as our comfortable trains that are always on time!
Discover the new train Treno Gottardo, in service on the Gotthard panorama railway line, where the tourist experience starts with the journey.
To choose where to stay, there are accommodations with a special regard for the environment, from the traditional hotel to the alpine huts, and finally the choice of activities.
From gastronomy to outdoor activities, there is a wide choice of sustainable activities to suit all interests!

To travel more consciously


Recycling and waste sorting are important! Make a difference and dispose of your rubbish in the appropriate bins. And why not reduce your footprint? You can compensate for your travel by paying a little extra when you buy your tickets or through organisations like MyClimate that invest this money in projects dedicated to protecting the environment.
