GREEN DELIGHT

Travelling by public transport, driving EVs, cycling and eating locally sourced food - this is all part of responsible tourism. Feel the sensation of being able to contribute to a greener world, while you travel. It’s a good feeling. There are many choices we can make to travel more environmentally friendly, and each contribution counts. We give you some tips along the way that we hope will help you in making greener choices.

Choose Norway all year

Each season has its charm. Autumn with its vibrant colours, winter with its crisp air and beautiful light, spring when everything around you starts to bloom and of course summer with its warm, lazy days.

Most museums are open all year round, and cultural offers such as concerts and theatre plays are much greater during the low season. Experiences in nature are always possible, and you are more likely to enjoy the major attractions all to yourself, even though the trip may require a little more effort. Guide services that also provide transportation are available all year round. If you have little hiking experience, you should go with a nature guide who knows what the conditions are like and what equipment is needed. By choosing to travel out of the main season, you help to ensure the viability and sustainability of activity providers, accommodations, and restaurants over time, while helping to limit the pressure on the destination during the main season.

Leave nothing but footprints

Make an extra effort by picking up litter you see in nature and taking it to the nearest waste bin. There are also cleaning events you can join, such as the “Ryddeaksjon jærkysten”, a great initiative by the Jæren Friluftsråd to keep our coastlines and beaches clean. The organisation Ryfylke Friluftsråd also regularly organises cleanup days. Avoid buying-and-disposing behaviour by renting equipment locally at Frilager.no for all your adventures.
