Building a Sustainable Future Together
At Saaga Travel, we believe in travel that honors the landscape, uplifts communities and leaves the places we visit better than we found them. From ancient forests to pure Arctic waters, the beauty of our surroundings inspires us and shapes our responsibility.
We partner with local suppliers, contractors and service providers deeply rooted in the region. Choosing nearby businesses not only strengthens the local economy, but also helps reduce transport emissions.
Hiring locally is another way we invest in the region. By creating meaningful jobs close to home, we help preserve traditions, honor local knowledge and ensure that the value we bring remains in the community, alongside the forests, waterways and landscapes that define it.
Our commitment to sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We are steadily adopting cleaner fleet solutions, exploring alternative fuels and cutting edge technologies, and moving our facilities toward 100% renewable electricity. At the same time, we are mindful of how our operations affect the natural world: planning routes to minimize habitat disturbance, reducing water and energy use, and protecting biodiversity wherever we travel.
By embedding respect for nature into everything we do, by nurturing communities, conserving wilderness, reducing our footprint, Saaga Travel is dedicated to positive change today, and for generations to come.
The Rhythm of the Seasons in Lapland
Life in Lapland follows the rhythm of the Arctic year, a cycle of light, colour, and transformation that connects people and nature. Each season invites travellers to experience the land in a different way, while reminding us of the importance of caring for these fragile northern environments.
- Winter – The world slows under a soft cover of snow. The silence of the forests and the shimmer of the Northern Lights create moments of calm reflection. This is a time to respect nature’s stillness and move gently through it.
- Spring – Light returns, ice melts, and rivers awaken. Birds arrive from distant places, and life stirs in every corner. Travelling in spring means witnessing renewal and remembering that balance sustains it.
- Summer – Under the Midnight Sun, Lapland bursts with colour and life. Wildflowers, berries, and wildlife fill the days. It is the perfect time to explore responsibly: keep to marked trails, leave no trace, and let nature thrive.
- Autumn – Forests turn golden and crimson, the air sharpens, and the land prepares for rest. It’s a beautiful moment to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the natural cycle.
