Wastesorting in Ski-Inn accommodation

We want to focus on recycling, because when sorted correctly, the waste turns from rubbish into a raw material or energy source.

SKI-INN ACCOMMODATION AND CARAVAN AREA

In Ruka's apartments, you can recycle biowaste, plastic, glass, metal, cardboard, paper and combustible waste. Sorting bins are located in the accommodation's waste rooms. Thanks for recycling!

Have an energy-wise vacation

Enjoy your holiday in an energy-wise way without compromising on comfort - here's how:

Enjoy the sauna with your group at the same time. It takes about 45 minutes to heat up, so head in as soon as it’s ready to make the most of the warmth. And remember to turn off the stove after your sauna session – every little bit helps!

Let’s save water together! Could a shorter, refreshing shower do the trick?  

Keep it cozy and energy-efficient. The ideal indoor temperature is around 20-21°C in living areas and 18-20°C in bedrooms for a perfect balance.  

Let’s keep the warmth in! Close the windows and doors quickly to keep the chill out.  

When leaving the apartment, turn off the lights, devices, and reduce ventilation to help conserve energy.

Thanks for doing your part! Together, we can protect nature and save energy.
