Very Green Camp, Very Green Act...
  • The campsite has the "Swisstainable” certification, obtained from Suisse Tourisme (Switzerland Tourism). This programme promotes a tourist offering, which is not only attractive but also and above all sustainable. This official recognition confirms Campofelice’s commitment to sustainable development.

  • Campofelice has updated its bathroom facilities, using a system which considerably reduces water consumption. The installation of six solar cells produces nearly 100,000 kWh.

  • Campofelice is collaborating with Azienda Elettricità Ticinese (an electricity wholesaler), which has chosen the campsite to promote a large roof, producing up to 850,000 kWh with 3,350 solar panels! This is one of the most significant projects of this nature in the canton of Ticino. It is capable of supplying electricity to 250 homes. All available adapted surfaces on Campofelice are entirely covered in solar panels.

  • With LED bulbs installed in more than 100 lights, Campofelice produces energy savings in excess of 30%. There are also EV charging stations, with the use of public transport promoted. Owing to the Ticino Ticket, tourists can travel for free on public transport throughout Ticino. Thanks to subsidies, staff can thus purchase season tickets at reduced prices. Guests can hire the Fiat 500 Cabrio, which is 100% electric, to discover the lovely region in an entirely eco-friendly way. Golf buggies and bikes are available for staff.

  • Promoting tap water, to reduce the use of plastic bottles (made from recyclable PET materials), due to a project collaborating with Ticino Turismo and the specialist business BehaviorSMART. This involves targeted messaging, by selling "Swiss the tap” bottles of water, and incentives to fill them rather than buy bottled water.

  • With several waste and recycling collection points, everyone can sort their waste. The implementation of selective sorting has enabled Campofelice to obtain the “Ecocamping” (environmentally friendly campsite) label.

  • Regional food produce and products are sold in local markets and in the Campofelice shop, which encourages so-called zero-kilometre purchasing. This has enabled Campofelice to become an official point of sale for the Ticino Regio.Garantie quality mark (certifying the local origin of such products). Moreover, bulk products are also sold, particularly body treatment and household cleaning items. This enables customers to make both conscious and sustainable choices.

  • In producing the equipment and uniforms provided by Campofelice to employees, the emphasis is upon using environmentally sustainable materials, with as far as possible involvement of local suppliers. Maintaining high sustainability standards necessitates significant investment and judicious choices. Yet. also thanks to various small initiatives, the desired objective of quality in health, the environment and wellness, which everyone can enjoy on this establishment, is achieved.

  • In recent years, a significant investment has been the restoration of the entire Verzasca river bank. This was a choice made after much thought, given that the Campofelice Camping Village is located in the famous nature reserve known as “Bolle di Magadino”. All the banks were restored using “bioengineering”, which enabled the integration of fish through natural means.

  • The pool area uses a heat pump. Furthermore, five of the new glamping holiday rentals have a solar heating hot water system. In 2021, the campsite bought a new bungalow entirely built in Switzerland using local materials.
