Sustainability in Johkula

Nature is our greatest attraction

Everything we offer in Johkula depends on the surrounding nature, so protecting it comes naturally to us.

What we do

  • Local food: most of our restaurant's ingredients come from nearby farms and fishers.
  • Energy: we use renewable electricity, and our saunas are heated with wood from local forest management.
  • Activities: most of our programme is human-powered: paddling, hiking, cycling and tour skating.
  • Waste: we sort our waste and avoid disposable tableware.

Climate contribution

You can add a voluntary climate contribution of €1.20 per person per night to your accommodation booking. It is based on our estimate of a guest night's emissions (about 15 kg CO₂e per person). The funds go to forest care and shoreline restoration in the Johkula area, and we report on their use here every year.
