Sustainability and values

We are committed to the principles of sustainable nature tourism and responsible choices. For us, responsibility means not only respecting nature but also ethical practices and transparency. We strive to promote sustainable development, create positive impacts on the environment and communities, and provide our customers with unforgettable nature experiences.

Biodiversity is essential, and nature conservation helps preserve it. In all our activities, we aim to minimize environmental impact. Our customer promise is to provide practical and sustainable services to travelers, visitors, and partners equally.

Inclusivity and Cultural Sensitivity

We offer travel experiences that respect local traditions, culture, and customs. We operate according to ethical and moral principles and do not tolerate any form of discrimination or exploitation.

Combating Climate Change

Our log villas are built from trees felled on-site, which absorb carbon dioxide. The log structures balance temperature and humidity, improving indoor air quality and reducing energy consumption. Temperature control is adjusted according to customer events, and an energy-efficient air-source heat pump helps conserve energy.

We encourage our guests to arrive by public transport or shared transfers. We offer activities such as walking, cycling, canoeing, and snowshoeing, which rely on human power and are environmentally friendly.

Responsible Procurement and Offerings

We prioritize local and environmentally friendly suppliers and adhere to fair trade principles. Our food offerings are Finnish and include vegetables, root vegetables, berries, mushrooms, and locally sourced fish whenever possible. We use organic wines and avoid disposable tableware. Drinking and utility water come from our own well.

Accessibility

Accessibility means safety and equality. We consider the needs of different customers in terms of vision, hearing, comprehension, and communication. Unfortunately, our old log buildings are not fully accessible, and moving around the rocky terrain of the reindeer park may be challenging. However, a wide plank path with a handrail and a few steps leads to the park.

Animal Welfare and Visitors

Our reindeer live a stress-free life in their natural environment. Encounters with the reindeer always take place on their terms, and they are not rented out for events. Our care team ensures their well-being daily.

Legal Compliance

We comply with Finnish tourism laws and regulations. Safety and rescue plans have been prepared for all activity programs, and food safety is ensured according to a self-monitoring plan. Our company has comprehensive liability insurance.

Sustainability Certifications

Our company has been awarded the Sustainable Travel Finland label and the GOOD TRAVEL SEAL certification in recognition of our efforts to promote sustainable tourism. We will continue our sustainability work and encourage other operators to join the path to sustainable tourism.
