Sustainable travel has been gaining a lot of popularity in recent times and is touted to be the future of travel as per the "new normal" with the Covid-19 pandemic acting as a catalyst for this change to come sooner.Switzerland has been one of the countries pioneering in the direction of providing the travellers in this direction. There are a plethora of initiatives taken by the alpine nation to lure tourists who are looking forward to enjoying a sustainable, guilt-free vacation.Conscious travellers will find a lot of activities in Switzerland that have been designed to protect the environment and that use the resources of the country, judiciously. For example, a 450m Solar Ski Lift in Saline Valley is used to transport snow sports enthusiasts to and fro the mountain peaks and simultaneously used to produce solar power. Using the power required for the operation of the Ski Lift, the excess production of power is sold to environmentally conscious parties in the region.A major reason for the reduced carbon footprint is the Swiss Travel System. It has the world's most effective public transportation system a fully-integrated air, train, and bus system powered majorly by clean hydroelectric power sources. The country is an active advocate of public transport for citizens as well as tourists not only because it is fast and reliable but also to minimize negative impact in Alpine areas.A train journey generates 20 times less CO2 than a car journey on a comparable route.
