What is Green Luzern?
Green Luzern was created to make sustainable living in Lucerne effortless and accessible to everyone — from long-time locals to first-time visitors. We believe that knowing where to find eco-friendly options is the first step towards a more sustainable daily life.
Our interactive map aggregates carefully researched, real-world sustainable locations — from zero-waste grocery stores and vegan restaurants to EV charging stations and certified Swisstainable businesses — all in one beautifully designed platform.
We take inspiration from the Swisstainable movement led by Switzerland Tourism, which promotes tourism and daily life that strengthens the local economy, protects natural landscapes, and respects cultural heritage.
