Sustainability at Schenna Resort

Climate change, environmental protection, and the preservation of natural habitats are becoming increasingly important in tourism, too. At Schenna Resort, sustainability is a top priority – as confirmed by our certification from the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

We aim to lead by example in the hospitality industry and rely on practical measures to reduce energy consumption, waste, and plastic. Our commitment to the environment is reflected in every aspect of your stay – from energy efficiency to the mindful selection of eco-friendly products.
