Sustainability

  • Sustainability pledge

    Sustainability pledge

    The accommodation has taken the STF Sustainability pledge on working sustainably in their daily operations and involve you as a guest.

Read more about our sustainability work

We have made a commitment to sustainability with STF's Sustainability Pledge, and we are Green Key certified. The accommodation is heated with environmentally certified electricity, labeled with “Bra Miljöval,” meaning it comes from wind and hydro power. We are aware that we are in a sensitive environment deep in the mountains and therefore use as few chemicals as possible for laundry and cleaning. The chemicals we use are eco-labeled (and local – believe it or not!).

How can you, as a guest, help us?

One of our biggest challenges is waste. We're delighted that more people want to explore the mountains, but the trash bags are getting heavier, and transportation takes a toll on our environment. Therefore, the best thing you as a guest can do is carry your trash down from the mountain yourself.

We have waste sorting stations for you to sort your waste. Please avoid washing under running water, airing, and turning on the heaters simultaneously, conserve water, and bring your own sleeping bag liner and towel.

It is only together with you as our guest that we at STF Blåhammaren can achieve our goals of long-term sustainable tourism. Thank you for your participation, and please feel free to suggest ways we can improve our environmental efforts!

Hiking trails in Sweden

The amazing thing about hiking in Sweden is that there is always more to discover. You can hike on remote mountain peaks, along rugged coastlines, beside bright yellow rapeseed fields, or near major cities.
