Microlino x GlaciersAlive: joining forces to help protect Swiss glaciers.

Glaciers are the reservoirs of our lives – and they are under threat. With the initiative Microlino x GlaciersAlive – Ice is Life, we combine urban electric mobility with a concrete contribution to the protection of these unique ecosystems.

Starting in May 2026, Microlino will donate 1% of the value of every vehicle sold in selected Swiss glacier regions to GlaciersAlive. This turns every vehicle purchase in these regions into a visible commitment to responsibility, sustainability and the protection of our alpine landscapes.

1% for Swiss glaciers

Swiss glaciers shape the country’s landscapes, store valuable water and stand as powerful symbols of Switzerland’s natural beauty. At the same time, they are among the ecosystems most affected by climate change.

This is where the collaboration with GlaciersAlive begins: for every Microlino sold in a relevant glacier region, 1% of the vehicle’s value goes directly towards projects that support glacier protection and awareness.

The initiative covers the entire Swiss glacier region – from the Bernese Oberland across the cantons of Uri, Valais, Graubünden and Ticino.


Which regions are included?

The initiative applies to sales in selected regions that are closely connected to Switzerland’s glacier landscape:

– Bernese Oberland
– Uri
– Valais
– Graubünden
– Ticino

With every vehicle sold in one of these regions, Microlino supports the work of GlaciersAlive and contributes to the protection of one of Switzerland’s most important natural resources.



About GlaciersAlive

GlaciersAlive is committed to a world where protecting melting glaciers is not only the responsibility of science and politics, but a shared effort involving people, companies and society.

The organization brings together knowledge, generations, disciplines and regions to promote concrete solutions for glacier protection. Its mission goes beyond research: it is about raising awareness and inspiring collective action.


Why Microlino?

Microlino was created for a new generation of urban mobility: compact, electric, resource-conscious and made for everyday life. With its minimal footprint, fully electric drivetrain and iconic design, it shows that mobility can take up less space, use less energy and still bring more joy.

This mindset connects Microlino with GlaciersAlive. Both stand for a more conscious use of resources and for solutions that start today while creating long-term impact.


Make your commitment visible

Companies, hotels, municipalities and partners who want to make their commitment to glacier protection visible can personalize their Microlino and become part of the initiative.

This transforms the Microlino from a practical vehicle for short distances, guests, employees or customers into a mobile statement for sustainability and responsibility.

Ice is Life – and together, we can help protect Swiss glaciers for future generations.
