01
Care in the everyday
We carry out what we bring in, choose our routes thoughtfully, and leave the natural materials of the forest where they belong.
How we care for Lapland
Values &
Actions
We don't just offset our footprint – our goal is to do more.
The work starts with everyday choices on the trail, then reaches toward the places and people that make Lapland home.

01 / Nature
Nature: Beyond Leave No Trace
Leave No Trace is the starting point. Our responsibility also asks what we can give back to the places that welcome us.
Care begins in ordinary moments: carry out every piece of litter, move through fragile ground thoughtfully, and leave the natural details of the forest where they are. These small choices shape the way each day on the trail feels for the next visitor, too.
Beyond those daily actions, we partner with Metsähallitus and local communities on small-scale restoration projects. Local knowledge keeps that work connected to the places it is meant to help.
Well-kept equipment stays useful for longer. We maintain and repair gear where we can, and value Muonio's local repair culture as part of using what we already have well.
02
Keep good gear working
Looking after equipment and repairing it when we can gives useful gear a longer life. We value the practical repair culture in Muonio.
03
Restore, together
We partner with Metsähallitus and local communities on small-scale restoration projects shaped by the needs of the place.
02 / Community
Local Community & All 8 Seasons
The year has room for more than one kind of journey. We want experiences to follow the seasons and keep local people part of the story.
Winter is a strong and important cornerstone of Lapland tourism. I want to expand tourism to be year-round and offer experiences also outside peak seasons – birdwatching in May, midnight sun treks in June, wild food treks in August, September autumn colors (ruska), and October northern lights season.
Food, close to home
Let the season set the table.
In season, we look for local berries, mushrooms and wild herbs, alongside fish and reindeer from local small producers when available. What is served follows the time of year and local supply.
Listen and learn
Culture deserves care over time.
We approach Sámi culture with respect, keep listening and learning, and want young people to have meaningful ways to participate. Any future collaboration must follow the priorities of Sámi communities. We do not speak on their behalf.
03 / Guest Well-being & Digital Detox
A Welcome Contrast to Busy Life
Time in deep nature offers a powerful antidote to the constant hum of city life and screen fatigue. A steady walking rhythm, quiet pauses, and the natural acoustics of the forest invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your surroundings. This is an invitation to notice more—to let the landscape set the pace while you take it one step at a time.
Before You Arrive: The "Mindful Lapland" Guide
Preparation starts before the trail. Our "Mindful Lapland" pre-arrival guide letter helps you mentally prepare for time offline. It offers simple, practical ways to step back from notifications, tune into your senses, and shift your focus from the digital world to the present moment.
On the Trail: The Gift of Unplugging
We gently encourage guests to switch their phones to airplane mode during stretches of the trek. When the notifications fade, the true soundscape of the Arctic comes forward: the crunch of moss underfoot, the wind in the pines, and the space for unhurried conversation.
(Note: Safety always comes first—always follow your guide's safety briefings and keep any agreed safety equipment accessible, while leaving the digital distractions behind.)
