Our approach

Sustainability at Kronlund

Heating

The property is heated by a wood-pellet biomass burner rather than fossil fuel — pellets are a renewable, locally-available fuel source, and we actively track the burner's efficiency to keep consumption as low as possible.

Nature & setting

Surrounded by forest, lake, and the quiet of rural Västerbotten — our activities (snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice skating) are built around the land as it already is, not around infrastructure we've added to it. The property itself dates to 1905, a former forest school repurposed rather than replaced, and the frozen river running past the site is the same one our ice skating trail and ice fishing breaks use every winter. Our activities are run by trusted local partners who share our respect for nature and wildlife. We recycle as much as we can and stay mindful of our environmental impact in everything we do — even in our marketing, where we value authenticity over unnecessary digital processing. Our facilities also use water-saving systems, drawing from our own well and filtration rather than wasting this vital resource.

Food & sourcing

Our restaurant builds its daily menu around what's fresh and local, with our chef cooking fresh dishes on site rather than relying on pre-made meals. We work smart and responsibly — choosing sustainable suppliers, reducing food waste, and supporting local producers whenever possible.

Community & stewardship

Since 2026, Kronlund Kursgård has been a member of Responsible Tourism Västerbotten, and we're also part of Gold of Lapland, where we actively share knowledge and collaborate with other operators to build a stronger, more sustainable region. Closer to home, we work with local volunteer groups, support youth initiatives, and host affordable summer camps for the community. Everyone is welcome here — we do our best to accommodate guests with different needs.
