Tips for a responsible holiday

A responsible holiday starts at home, by doing your best to choose sustainable holiday options and traveling by train or public transport where possible. When you’re here, there’s plenty of other ways to remain responsible too.

  • Minimize emissions by making use of Tahko’s skibus, other public transport options, and – depending on where you’re staying – the ease of walking and cycling
  • Consume only the energy you need and switch of lights, saunas and electrical appliances when they’re not needed
  • Recycle your waste properly and try to minimize it where possible by buying plastic-free and using reusable coffee cups and water bottles
  • When you’re enjoying Tahko’s spectacular nature, don’t leave any trash behind. Remember to ‘leave only footsteps and take only memories’
  • Choose products and services that follow the principles of ethical and sustainable development
