We are committed to sustainable development, based on the «SWISSTAINABLE» sustainability program. Here is a selection of the measures implemented at the Crans Ambassador that are important to us:

Bed linen and towels to save water, energy and chemicals

The linen is not changed every day, but you can decide for yourself. There is a bell on your nightstand: if you want your bed linen changed, put it on your pillow. If the towels are in the bathtub, they are replaced with fresh laundry.

The number of bath towels in your room has been reduced. However, our housekeepers will be happy to bring you additional towels if you wish.

—–
Soaps, shampoos and their bottles are transformed into life-saving products through the non-profit organization SapoCycle. The soaps are recycled by people with disabilities and then distributed to improve hygiene conditions for families in need.

Supply chains, reduction of waste and food waste

We sensitize our suppliers and partners to sustainability.
