Sustainability
Sustainability & Sámi Philososphy…
Our values, traditions and philosophy, passed on from previous Sámi generations, is to tread light across the land and leave as few ”footprints” as possible.
We want to pass on and introduce visitors to the Sámi culture, history, values and philosophy and be a part of a sustainable today and tomorrow, maintaining and leaving a holistic local, regional, national and global world to generations to come.
We can not do everything - but try by our actions and decisions to do something in as many aspects of our business as possible! We choose local, ecological and sustainable products and services - for you our guests, and in our every day life and business.
We believe that sustainable and conscious travel can be beneficial to our local area. We also believe in creating relations and share knowledge with our guests. Knowledge, revelations and understanding the Sámi culture, Arctic Lifestyle, Eight Seasons, Wildlife and Ecosystem etc will “travel” further and make impact when our guests and “Ambassadors” share their memories and new knowledge with their friends and families all over the world.
We are always open to new ideas and would be happy to get your input and feedback on how to improve our sustainable actions, behaviour and impact!
