Climate and energy
That's how we avoid waste, protect natural spaces, and protect the environment in all its forms. For us, at Monte Generoso, protecting nature and the landscape is key. That's why we care about regreening wooded areas and protecting biodiversity. But that's not all: we use energy-efficient implants, organise mountain clean-up days, and we also have a Swisstainable certification.
A valuable natural habitat for the preservation of flora and fauna, which we have always protected at Monte Generoso! Since 2019, we have been recognised for our ability to maintain the greenery of the wild flower meadows around the Fiore di pietra, despite the influx of visitors. And we are proud of it! Wild flower meadows are areas that have to be mowed at specific intervals to promote biodiversity.

Our myclimate commitment
One day to clean up
In order to raise awareness among the tourists who walk on our trails, every year we organise a special litter pick. It's called Clean-Up Day: one day a year to remove what is scattered in nature, in partnership with the Vevey Summit Foundation and volunteers. In addition, we are always coming up with new ideas, such as the Clean-Up Derby between the two hockey clubs Lugano and Ambrì in 2022, or the Clean-Up with our suppliers in 2023.
