Swedish Lapland wilderness trekking holiday

Our company is a small-scale activity company, based in Swedish Lapland and locally owned. When you choose to buy your holiday directly from us, over three quarters of your money will benefit locally based and owned companies that employ local people. This holiday will benefit several small tourism businesses that are situated in small villages along the trek. They are owned and managed by local people living in the villages, striving for a living in this rural area with few opportunities for work. Walking holidays will bring a new kind of tourism to this area helping the inhabitants to develop their companies and villages.

To reduce our environmental impact we work with small groups and a "leave no trace" philosophy. We work closely with nature and we avoid being intrusive or harmful. Where possible our company use eco-friendly products: food, detergent, materials. Locally sourced meat, such as elk and reindeer, fish such as salmon and pike-perch, vegetables and potatoes - usually organic - are provided. We try to minimise consumption of material and products. We recycle package materials and compost our organic waste. Waste is carried out and package materials are recycled according to our policy. We don't use disposable cutlery, plates and similar. We also try to influence the companies we cooperate with to be more environmentally responsible.

Our company is a member of The Swedish Ecotourism Society and the owner is the chairman of the local Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, a national non-profit organisation that works to conserve nature both within Sweden and globally. Wherever possible, we use local suppliers for food, materials, detergent, expendable items and equipment.
