Recycled Christmas trees
Culture
Every year, the Zermatt lift operating company invests up to one million Swiss Francs in nature restoration and energy saving initiatives as part of their commitment to sustainable development. And no stone has been left unturned, as every January, they go so far as to recycle every one of the many 2-3.5-metre Christmas trees that decorate their properties during the December holidays. A sign of respect for Zermatt’s forests, which at 2,300 m are the highest altitude forests in Switzerland.
