Sustainability in the Alpes Vaudoises

The Vaud Alps, an exceptional region, is firmly committed to sustainability. This region, rich in unspoilt natural landscapes, is implementing concrete initiatives to protect the environment while offering an authentic experience that respects nature and local communities.
To structure this approach, several local service providers and the destination of Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets-Bex have joined the national Swisstainable programme launched by Switzerland Tourism.
This label aims to encourage sustainable tourism throughout the country and is based on three levels of commitment:

• Level I - Committed: businesses demonstrate their willingness to commit actively to a sustainable approach.
• Level II - Engaged: they have recognised certification in at least one area of sustainability.
• Level III - Leading: certified benchmarks committed to a global sustainability strategy.

The region also offers a number of emblematic sustainable activities that fit perfectly with this vision:

• Alpine Coaster
• Glacier Walk
• The Jardin des Alpes restaurant

In winter and summer alike, the Vaud Alps invite visitors to discover a region where every aspect of the tourist experience is designed to preserve this unique natural setting for future generations. Hotels, restaurants, guides and activities all contribute to more respectful, more local and more sustainable tourism.
