🌿 5 More Ways to Travel Sustainably in Lapland

1. Offset your carbon footprint
Flying or driving long distances? Consider offsetting your emissions through verified programs. A small step that helps balance your environmental impact.

2. Cut down on single-use items
Say no to plastic straws, cutlery, and takeaway cups. Many places in Lapland (including us 😉) offer reusable or compostable options.

3. Be water-wise
Take shorter showers and reuse your towels.

4. Choose ethical animal experiences
Support companies that treat animals with care and follow proper welfare standards. (We’re proud to work with who do just that with the reindeer and we do the same with our own huskies. 🐾)

5. Leave no trace
Whether you’re exploring forests or fells, stay on marked trails, carry out your trash, and leave nature just as you found it.💚

🌍 5 Easy Ways to Travel More Sustainably

1. Stay at eco-certified accommodations
Look for places with certifications like Green Key or Sustainable Travel Finland—like us! These labels mean real action is being taken to protect the environment.

2. Travel during the off-season
Visiting outside the busiest months helps ease the pressure on local nature and communities. Bonus: fewer crowds and often better deals (yes, we’ve got some too!).

3. Pack light & smart
Less weight = lower emissions. Bring only what you need, and pack reusables like a water bottle.

4. Support local businesses
Eat local food, shop small, and book with local activity providers. It keeps money in the community and reduces the footprint of imported goods.

At our restaurant, we serve local flavors, and our resort is family-owned—choosing us means supporting local. 💚

5. Respect nature & wildlife
Stick to marked trails, admire animals from a distance, and never leave trash behind. Nature thrives when we treat it with care.

🐣🌿 Hyvää pääsiäistä from Finland!

Here, Easter means bright feathers on birch branches, little witches trading willow twigs for candy, and enjoying the slow return of light and spring.

✨ Here is some fun Finnish Easter traditions:

🧙‍♀️ Little Witches & Candy
One of the most unique Finnish Easter traditions happens on the Sunday before Easter, when kids dress up as trulli—little witches with painted faces, colorful scarves, and decorated willow branches.

They go door to door chanting a rhyme to wish health and happiness in exchange for candy or small coins. It’s kind of like Halloween but cuter and spring-themed!

🌱 Spring Vibes & Decorations
Easter in Finland is all about bright colors and bringing spring indoors:
• Feathers are tied to birch twigs and placed in vases.
• People grow grass or rye in little pots to decorate tables and windowsills—it symbolizes new life.
• Painted eggs and yellow chicks are everywhere. Yellow is the color of Easter here!

🍽️ Traditional Foods
Easter meals usually include:
• Mämmi: a traditional dessert made from rye and malt—blackish brown and sticky, usually eaten cold with cream and sugar. Not everyone loves it, but it's definitely iconic!
• Pasha: a creamy dessert made with quark, cream, and dried fruits—especially popular in Eastern Finland.
• Chocolate eggs, marzipan treats, and candy are big hits too.
• Many families enjoy hearty meals, like lamb or oven-baked dishes, depending on the region.

The berries we use—blueberry, lingonberry, cloudberry, buckthornberry, and cranberry—are handpicked straight from the nature around us.🫐🌲 Late summer and autumn are the best times to gather them, when the forests are full of these healthy treasures. Grown under the Midnight Sun, in the cleanest air on Earth, Lappish berries are packed with even more vitamins than ordinary berries. It doesn’t get more pure and local than this!
