What lies behind our sustainability standards

Since 2024, the Municipality of Partschins has been officially certified as a sustainable destination. Our region thrives on the close connection between nature, culture, people and living traditions. That is precisely why a responsible use of our resources is so important to us.
We are part of the South Tyrol Sustainability Programme for Tourism and have been awarded the GSTC-Recognized Standard – Level 3 by the independent certification body Vireo Srl.

This confirms that we meet not only international sustainability criteria, but also the extended South Tyrolean requirements, which set particularly high standards.
The sustainability programme views tourism as a task for the future. It supports destinations in taking step-by-step action to become more climate-friendly, more careful and more conscious – ensuring that landscapes, water resources, culture and quality of life are preserved. For guests, for local residents and for those who come after us.

The programme is based on the destination criteria of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), which defines worldwide standards for responsible travel and sustainable tourism development.

Our goal for Partschins as a sustainable destination.
We implement short-, medium- and long-term measures in the areas of management, socio-economy, ecology and culture, while simultaneously developing strategies that strengthen our region for future generations.

Moving into the future with responsibility and foresight.
