Silvaplana sets a strong example for sustainability

Another milestone on the way to becoming a sustainable tourist destination

Promotion to Swisstainable Level 2

By moving up to Swisstainable Level 2 - Engaged, Silvaplana has taken a significant step towards greater sustainability in tourism. The municipality is thus sending a clear signal of its commitment to systematically anchoring sustainability and continuously developing it further.

By achieving level 2, Silvaplana has positioned itself as a committed and responsible destination that not only offers its guests unforgettable experiences, but also sustainable and forward-looking offers.

Concrete measures and initiatives

Silvaplana relies on a variety of sustainable measures. These include:
✔ Promotion of soft tourism and environmentally friendly mobility solutions
✔ Protection of the unique natural and cultural landscape
✔ Reduction of the ecological footprint of events and tourist offers
✔ Promotion of regional products and strengthening of the local economy
✔ Accessibility through the OK:GO initiative for inclusive tourism
✔ Raising awareness and involvement of the population and guests

New partnership with MYBLUEPLANET

With ClimateActions 4 Companies - an initiative of MYBLUEPLANET - Silvaplana is involved in a tried-and-tested implementation plan for SMEs that accompanies companies step by step on the path to climate neutrality. This initiative helps companies to effectively anchor climate protection and involve employees in the transformation process in the best possible way.

Accessibility and sustainability combined - OK:GO initiative

Social sustainability is also actively promoted: By participating in the OK:GO initiative, Silvaplana is committed to improving the accessibility of the municipality for all people. Information on accessibility is recorded and published on the platform. The app is a valuable aid when planning trips for people with limited mobility or families with baby carriages. The aim is for all tourism businesses in Silvaplana to take part in the initiative and work together to implement further steps towards an inclusive destination.
