Sustainability

The Alpina Gstaad has been awarded the Gold certification by EarthCheck – the leading global group for scientific benchmarking, certification and consulting in the field of travel and tourism since 1987. With an unwavering commitment to care of people and planet, The Alpina Gstaad receives as Switzerland’s first company, this coveted Gold certification. Since embarking on this journey to a more holistic approach towards sustainability in 2016, the hotel earned its first Silver certification in 2017. Afterwards, the hosts have undergone a rigorous audit and certification process for five consecutive years.

With environmental and community development at heart since inception, The Alpina Gstaad aspires to be a global platform that engages its visitors with inspiring dialogue of these complex, yet vital issues for the health of the planet. We understand that sustainability is not an achievement, but rather a process that evolved over time. We believe that luxury and sustainability go hand in hand, where we as luxury service providers pledge to conduct fair and sustainable business practices that continue to develop our immediate local community and extends to those who we do business with outside of the Saanenland.
