We're planting trees

The campaign ran from 2019 to 2025.

We're helping the forests and rebuilding it!

Not only streets and buildings need to be rebuilt periodically. Even our forests require renovation! Fragile forests need strong trees in order to be transformed into resilient mixed woodlands.

We are contributing to reforestation with our "Plant-a-tree-Campaign".

For years, we have observed our weather becoming more and more extreme. Periods of hot temperatures and severe weather are increasing. The effects of climate change are negatively impacting our woodlands; the outlook is particularly grim for spruce forests. Because their roots are shallow, spruces rely on consistent rainfall and can experience significant damage in strong storms. Climate change has the potential to cause more degradation to our forests in the future.

Trees are planted for the Banff Tour.

Every 25th Banff Tour Ticket = 1 tree

Along with our partners Vaude and Visit Tirol, we want to help prepare our forests for climate change. Therefore, we will plant one tree for every 25th visitor of the Banff Tour.

This incredible impact continues to grow as we've already planted more than 6,277 trees together. Let's maintain this momentum—let's plant even more trees in the next weeks and years!

Where our trees grow

Why we should protect our forests

Fast-growing spruces are the most important trees for reforestation. In order for the forests to survive, they must be replenished. We can transform our fragile coniferous forests into resilient mixed woodlands, consisting of 30% broad-leafed trees or firs. This process will take several decades, so we must start today.

10,000 square metres of forest...

  • filter up to 50 tons of soot and dust from the air
  • release up to 30 tons of oxygen per year
  • store about 10 tons of CO₂ per year
  • can produce up to 160,000 cubic metres of new groundwater in its lifespan

Thank you to all Banff Tour visitors for your support!

Our current campaign

A Peatland for the Climate

Together, we are moving closer to our goal of taking responsibility for the climate and the environment.
