What is the purpose of the foundation?

If we're not currently working on making your holiday in LAAX an unforgettable one, then we must be out in the great outdoors. We enjoy slopes with freshly fallen snow, biking on secluded single trails, scaling mountains and fishing in wild stretches of river. In everything we do, we recognise how unique our natural landscape is and that it is our duty to protect it.

What happens with the money?

We use the money donated to support non-profit projects in the LAAX holiday destination and throughout our entire region.

We support projects which

promote environmental education and research
protect the climate and reduce the negative effects of climate change
promote environmentally friendly technologies and renewable energies
reduce hazardous emissions
ensure sustainable handling of natural resources
serve to keep the region clean and prevent waste from being disposed of inappropriately or in public places
protect and develop ecosystems and their flora and fauna as well as natural recreational areas and nature parks, or lead to an improved natural environment in the settlement area
promote ecological and regional products and foods, as well as their production methods and fair trade
which enable the social integration of marginalised, disabled or unwell persons
