At MySwitzerland Tours, sustainability is not just a checkbox—it’s the foundation of how we design, operate, and grow our tours.
We believe that travel should deepen our connection to the world, not take away from it. That’s why we’re committed to offering meaningful experiences that celebrate Switzerland’s natural beauty, cultural richness, and local traditions, all while respecting the environment and the communities we visit.
Our approach to sustainable tourism is rooted in three key principles: reducing our environmental footprint, supporting local economies, and inspiring conscious exploration. We take pride in crafting private day trips that not only delight our guests but also contribute positively to the places we cherish.
We prioritize train travel-one of the most eco-friendly ways to get around Switzerland.
With one of the most efficient and scenic rail networks in the world, our guests enjoy a comfortable, low-impact way to experience the country’s natural beauty and vibrant cities.
By keeping our groups small, usually fewer than ten guests, we reduce our footprint on delicate mountain environments and ensure our visits to alpine villages and natural areas remain respectful and in harmony with the local way of life.
We partner with local guides who know these regions inside and out. Their insight brings authenticity to every experience while also supporting the local economy and honoring the communities we explore. communities we visit.
We encourage mindful travel practices, like staying on marked trails, properly disposing of waste, and treading lightly in delicate environments such as forests and alpine lakes.
Our goal is to enjoy nature without disturbing it: take only memories and photos, and leave the landscapes just as we found them.
We focus on experiences that highlight locally-made products from farm-fresh cheeses to handcrafted goods and regional specialties.
By choosing local, we reduce the environmental impact of transport, support small producers, and give our guests a true taste of Swiss culture—authentic, seasonal, and rooted in place.
We believe in thoughtful travel where less really is more. By minimizing single-use items, avoiding unnecessary printed materials, and encouraging reusable alternatives, we reduce waste on every tour.
It’s all part of creating experiences that are not only memorable but also meaningful and respectful to the environment.
