Sustainability at Hossan Lumo

Hossan Lumo is located in the beautiful region of Kainuu, right next to Hossa National Park. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do, and we want our operations to support both the wellbeing of nature and the local community. Our goal is to make tourism more sustainable so that future generations can also enjoy the unique nature of Hossa.

Caring for the Environment

Nature is our greatest asset, and we take care of it through everyday actions.

  • We sort and recycle waste both in our operations and in our guest accommodations, and we encourage our visitors to do the same.
  • The energy we use comes from renewable or carbon-neutral sources.
  • We use environmentally certified cleaning products.
  • In our café, we favour organic and responsibly sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • We strive to reduce unnecessary consumption and make sustainable choices in everything we do.
  • We collaborate with local businesses and partners and prefer locally sourced services and products.
  • We are happy to share information about the area’s history, nature, and culture with our guests.
