Sustainability at Hossa–Kylmäluoma
At Hossa–Kylmäluoma, sustainability means everyday choices, respect for nature and caring for people. We operate in a sensitive natural environment, and that is why we want tourism in Hossa and Kylmäluoma to be responsible and sustainable – now and in the future.
Nature is part of everything we do
Hossa and Kylmäluoma are located in the unique wilderness landscapes of Kainuu and Koillismaa. Nature is our working environment, our strength and our home.
We follow the guidelines of the national parks and local areas, aim to minimize wear on nature, and encourage our guests to explore the outdoors responsibly and safely.
Sustainability in everyday actions
For us, sustainability is built through practical actions. In our dining services, we encourage advance bookings so we can prepare the right amount of food, ensure fresh meals and reduce food waste. We also consider the use of resources in all our operations and aim to make responsible choices in daily work.
People, local values and cooperation
Sustainability also means fair and personal customer service, as well as making use of local knowledge and expertise. We cooperate with local partners and want to contribute to the long-term development of the Hossa and Kylmäluoma area.
Guidance and local expertise
We offer guidance for hiking routes, fishing spots and nature destinations, as well as various guiding services. Reliable information helps guests explore nature responsibly and safely, and it also makes the experience more enjoyable.
Feel free to ask – we are happy to help and tailor experiences according to your wishes.
Our promise
At Hossa–Kylmäluoma, sustainability is not a separate programme – it is part of everything we do.
Responsibility plan
Sustainability is not just individual actions – it is long-term development. Our work is guided by a sustainability plan that helps us set goals and follow our progress.
The plan supports the development of our operations in areas such as energy and water consumption, waste reduction, purchasing decisions, customer service and guiding activities.
Our goal is to ensure that the unique nature of Hossa and Kylmäluoma remains preserved for future generations – and that every visit is safe, responsible and enjoyable.
The sustainability plan is reviewed and updated regularly as part of our daily work.
