It is our response to the global challenges of "climate change" and "protecting biodiversity".
Greenstyle is an initiative of the Weisse Arena Group.
The Greenstyle Book "how to run a sustainable alpine destination" is here! The idea of a sustainable destination is reflected on over 250 pages. Projects, ideas and many implementations that have been realised or are planned for the future within the Weisse Arena Group and the destination Flims Laax Falera are illustrated in it. The book includes chapters on energy, water, zero waste, consumption and biodiversity.
You can get hold of the book for CHF 20 on the LAAX app, at the Laax mountain railway information office, Flims guest information office, Flims & Laax mountain bank cash desks, Riders Hotel, LAAX Rental Flims & Laax, Stiva Selva gift store Flims and Ines Essentials STENNA Flims. All proceeds will be donated to the Greenstyle Foundation
The winter seasons are getting shorter and the snow line is rising. We therefore have a clear goal of using no more fossil fuels by 2030 and supplying the entire operation with 100% renewable energy; "from consumer to producer". With the Greenstyle concept, we have put together a comprehensive package of measures. Around 200 larger and smaller projects have already been implemented. The Greenstyle management report helps us to periodically review the measures and their effectiveness, adjust them if necessary and create transparency.
The Greenstyle Foundation is a non-profit organization - a cooperation of the Weisse Arena Group as well as committed people and enterprises of the holiday destination in the Flims Laax Falera region and region. It is dedicated to the development and protection of our environment.
Although our main focus is on activities, respecting nature is extremely important to us. Our region is not just a popular tourism destination, but is also home to rare plants and endangered animal species in need of special protection. We rely on your support to ensure that this remains the case in the future.
It is important not only to use nature, but also to protect it. Ranger services play a crucial role in public relations and nature conservation. They sensitize visitors to the special features of nature, provide information about the flora and fauna worthy of protection and uncover any abuses.
Together, we have already planted 700 wildflower bricks and 6000 crocuses, snowdrops and merlins. With this multi-year campaign, we would like to encourage locals and second homeowners to let their gardens, balconies and terraces blossom. After all, private gardens and terraces have valuable potential to promote biodiversity in urban areas, even in small spaces.
In the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tectonic Arena Sardona lies the Vorab Glacier. The Snowboard Summer Camp took place until 20 years ago in mid-June. Nowadays, this is no longer possible due to the massive melting of the glacier. In the next 30-35 years we have to expect that the Vorab Glacier will have completely disappeared due to the effects of man-made global warming. We believe that it is worth fighting for this very special place and at the same time send a signal to stop human-induced climate change.
