Never Get Caught in the Rain Again – The Sustainable Way!

Never Get Caught in the Rain Again – The Sustainable Way!

You're out and about when suddenly it starts to pour – and of course, your umbrella is at home. The quick fix? Buy a cheap umbrella on the go. But these disposable products often break quickly or pile up at home. Not exactly sustainable.

Luckily, there’s a smarter alternative: At many Valora kiosks across Switzerland, you can now rent a high-quality umbrella for just 2 CHF. You leave a deposit of 8 CHF, which encourages you to return it at any participating location. These umbrellas are sturdy, feature a bright yellow color for better visibility, and are made from sustainable materials in collaboration with ClimatePartner.

I tried the service myself last summer during a cycling trip with my husband. When it started to rain, we rented an umbrella at a kiosk in Thun and returned it a few days later in Saanen. We stayed dry, traveled light, and felt great about making a sustainable choice.
