Wastesorting in Ski-Inn accommodation

Have an energy-wise vacation
Enjoy your holiday in an energy-wise way without compromising on comfort - here's how:
• Heat the sauna for the whole group at the same time. It takes about 45 minutes for sauna to warm up, so please go to the sauna as soon as it's warm so that the sauna stove is not on without purpose. Also, make sure to turn off the sauna stove right after your sauna bath.
• Don't let the water run unnecessarily. Would a slightly shorter shower be enough?
• Don't overheat the space – A comfortable and energy-efficient indoor temperature is around 20-21 degrees in the living areas and 18-20 degrees in the bedrooms.
• Do not keep the windows or the front door open for a long time – let's keep the warmth inside!
• Turn off the lights and other devices and reduce the ventilation when you leave the apartment.
Thank you for caring! Let's save nature and energy together.
