A Sustainable Path into the Future

For more than a century, the Hotel International au Lac has operated with a strong sense of responsibility toward its environment, viewing sustainability as a concrete commitment.

In recent years, significant investments have been made to reduce environmental impact, leading to a substantial decrease in CO₂ emissions and improved energy efficiency throughout the property.

The swimming pool is disinfected using a natural, salt-based system designed to enhance water quality and ensure guest comfort. Every measure reflects the desire to protect our nature and to offer visitors a respectful and responsible welcome.

What is Swisstainable?

The top objective is the sustainable development of Switzerland as a tourist destination. The programme aims to provide orientation for guests looking for sustainable offers. This helps them find their way through the jungle of labels. At the same time, the programme is a movement for the entire industry. Over 2,200 tourism businesses participate already. They must meet certain criteria. There are three levels.

Sustainable travel doesn’t necessarily mean having to go without. Sustainable travel means greater awareness and depth and more enjoyment. With this in mind, Switzerland follows its own sustainability strategy:

-Enjoy nature up close and at first hand

-Experience the local culture in an authentic way

-Consume regional products

-Stay for longer and delve deeper
