SUSTAINABILITY

Respect for the environment guides all our decisions.

For years, we have favoured local businesses and farm-to-table cuisine. In our dining areas, we have eliminated plastic, adopting eco-friendly containers and utensils for takeaway food and drinks. Our environmental commitment continues with rigorous waste sorting and our participation in the "Too Good To Go" program to prevent food waste.

We actively protect our ecosystem: in the Adventure Park, the new platforms allow trees to grow without being damaged. Furthermore, to encourage sustainable mobility, we promote the use of public transportation by accepting SBB travel passes.

The great green revolution is the Monte Tamaro 3.0 cable car, a highly energy-efficient system powered by solar panels at the Valley station. The visual impact on the landscape has been reduced, going from 29 to only 19 pylons, while the underground technical rooms minimize noise pollution. This eco-friendly journey is constantly evolving, supported by increasing digitalization.

SENSITIVE ZONES

Respect for nature also involves the active protection of its habitats. The sensitive zones of Monte Tamaro are designated specifically to safeguard its delicate balance. In all these areas, throughout the year, dogs must be kept on a leash and the use of drones or unmanned aircraft is prohibited. In addition to these rules, specific seasonal guidelines apply:

  • La Manèra (1 December - 31 July): visitors must remain on marked trails at all times.
  • La Còsta da Mügía (1 December - 31 March): access strictly prohibited.
  • In Cüsell (1 December - 31 July): overflight prohibited.
     

We kindly ask all visitors to observe these measures to protect the mountain's ecosystem.

 

Swisstainable

Switzerland Tourism has launched the Swisstainable (Swiss + Sustainable) programme to promote a tourist offer that is not only attractive, but above all sustainable. We obtained the first level of this certification in April 2021 and during the season we committed ourselves to improving the sustainable development of our company, thus achieving the second level of Swisstainable – engaged.

Too Good To Go

Too Good To Go is an application created to save food that would no longer be consumed. It allows restaurants not to throw away food and the consumer to buy tasty food or meals at a favourable price. Since May 2021 you can also find the Magic Boxes of Restaurant Alpe Foppa on Too Good To Go!

OK:GO

OK:GO is an initiative of the Accessible Switzerland Association with the aim of providing information about the accessibility of Swiss tourist destinations. Since 2021, we have also registered data on the accessibility of the cable car departure station, the cable car itself, the Restaurant Alpe Foppa and the Santa Maria degli Angeli Church.

Cause we care - Together for even more sustainability

“Cause we care” is a project of myclimate, which was set up with the aim of promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly tourism in Switzerland thanks to the cooperation and participation of tourism companies, associations, and private individuals.
The mechanism of “Cause we care” is very simple. The guest gives a monetary contribution. Part of the contribution will go into our company’s “Cause we care” fund and will be used to implement sustainable projects of Monte Tamaro SA. The rest of the contributions will go to support the project we selected, “Solar panels for education and quality of life“, thus ensuring that the CO2 emissions of the cable car trip are offset. For its part, Monte Tamaro SA invests the same contribution as the guest in its own local sustainability programme.

 

 

Currently, the “Cause we care” contribution is integrated into the Brunch to Go ticket, with a value of CHF 0.50. From the 2022 season, a fixed contribution of CHF 1.00 will also be levied on the Adventure Park’s combined offer for the Big Trail (adults and children) and for the Middle Trail.
