Sustainability
In our actions, we think about the generations that will come after us. We treat resources with care and take ecological, economic and social aspects into consideration.
We are Swisstainable
We are part of the sustainability program Swisstainable and classified at level I – committed. The sustainability program Swisstainable unites businesses and organizations along the entire Swiss tourism sector. With our participation, we commit ourselves to continuous sustainable business development, pursue measures in the field of sustainability and thus make a concrete contribution to a sustainable Swiss tourism.

Food waste
Our kitchen team already pays attention to sensible portions during production as well as during serving. With the charming question for a supplement, we are of course happy to spoil our guests with a second plate. Renewable energy such as biogas is produced from our preparation- and food waste - and we are actively working to reduce the amount. KITRO's food waste management system, which registers every discarded item and uses artificial intelligence to identify and quantify it, helps us to do this.
Regional creation of value
Where do things we use every day come from? Christiania Mountain & Spa works with selected partners and producers from the region, thus also keeping supply chains as short as possible.
Our valued suppliers from close by with purely regional products include:
- Meat from the Bayard butcher's shop in Zermatt
- Honey from MB Vogel Prodotti naturali from Minusio, Ticino
- Vegetables from Julen Toni in Zermatt
- Fish from Etienne Comestibles, as well as Baasch Comestibles AG from Filet, Goms
In addition to the hotel terrace, we also lovingly tend our own garden, from which we harvest all the herb decorations for our dishes and drinks during the summer months.
Partnerships
We support important organisations and maintain personal partnerships with them. We are also a proud member of the CO2 compensation programme EnAW (Federal Office for the Environment) as well as Klik, which contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Private sauna
Our guests can reserve a small, cosy sauna to relax in. We heat this room exclusively with local wood. Thanks to the short transport routes and the support of sustainable forestry, we are contributing to the protection of the climate.
