Eco-friendly travel
- Tap water is safe to drink. Bring a refillable bottle.
- Everyman's right lets you walk almost everywhere in nature, with duties: no damage, no rubbish, keep away from homes, respect fire bans.
- Respect reindeer on Lapland roads: they don't move out of the way.
- Choose eco-certified husky and northern lights tours.
- Take the train between Helsinki and Lapland (night trains).
- Recycle bottles and cans: they have a deposit.
