Eco-Friendly Travel in Switzerland – An Environmentally Friendly Country
August 18, 2009 by Kimberly
Did you know that Switzerland is one of the most environmentally friendly countries in the world?
They are interested in a sustainable Switzerland!
That’s important to me, as you all know. Being from Canada, we are so environmentally conscious and have been recycling for decades now, since I was about 6 or 7 years old, as well as other environmental measures.
When I travel for vacation, this is also a factor in where we plan to go. Not only do we appreciate being able to have access to organic food to eat, but we enjoy eco-friendly travel and tourism too while we’re away.
Switzerland is a bike friendly nation, the train is easily accessible, and they have green hotels and resorts.
Of course, you know I’m an exotic animal lover! That’s why you’re here and reading this blog. When we are jet-setting, my husband and I are also all about seeing a country’s “green side”…it’s plants and animals!
What Animals Can You See in Switzerland?
Well, if you hike the alpine regions – the Swiss Alps – you will see the marmot, chamois, and ibex.

In the forests, you’ll see stag and deer, as well as martens and foxes.
Along rivers and lakes, you will now see around 800 beavers – newly reintroduced to the area after having been over-hunted or chased out. A few wolves have also reentered Switzerland’s borders from Italy, that were previously extinct from these parts.
Lynx and bear have been extinct for about 1 century in Switzerland.
What is wonderful, though, is you have the opportunity to see over 200 species of birds in Switzerland.
How important is a “green nation” to you? It’s of utmost importance to me. Our lives and the lives of all animals on the planet depend on us – don’t let them down!
Now, that’s my kind of vacation!

Ecosystem Friendly products are great, because it’s not just the resources that need to be sustainable.

Eco friendly tourism, which is on rise, brings a lot of advantages like conservation of eco system, rare animals & conservation of beauty of exotic locations like Arunachal Pradesh, India. Just right beliefs & supportive yet small actions can bring that change around for our planet.
That’s very true and an awesome thing, isn’t it?
Thanks so much for sharing and hope to see you come on back again soon,
