Sustainability
At Fjord Resort, we are committed to not only providing an unparalleled experience for our guests but also to leaving a positive impact on the environment and local community. Here’s how we’re making a difference.
Employment for the local community
Embracing a commitment to community growth, Fjord Resort takes pride in providing stable job opportunities for both year-round and seasonal staff. Our team includes individuals who have deep roots in the local area, as well as those who have chosen to move to Aurland and Flåm to build their homes. Through this blend of local connections and new residents, we contribute to the flourishing of the community, fostering a dynamic and thriving environment.
Local love: sourcing from nearby vendors
Embracing sustainability starts with supporting local businesses. We prioritize using local vendors whenever possible, ensuring that our operations benefit the community and minimize our carbon footprint.
Travel green: choose train and public transportation
Join us in our commitment to sustainable travel. We encourage guests to opt for eco-friendly transportation options like trains and public transit, reducing the impact on the environment while enhancing the overall journey.
Extended stays: a greener choice
Make the most of your visit by staying more than one night. Extended stays not only allow you to fully immerse yourself in the Fjord experience but also contribute to a more sustainable travel model, reducing the environmental impact associated with frequent short-term stays.
Explore the local gems
Experience the richness of the local community by exploring nearby stores, restaurants, cafes, and activities. We provide recommendations to our guests, encouraging them to engage with and support the vibrant local economy.
Eco-friendly cleanliness
We take pride in maintaining the highest cleanliness standards while minimizing our environmental footprint. Our cleaning supplies are eco-friendly, supplied by a local vendor with strong focus on sustainability. Additionally, our commitment to cleanliness serves a dual purpose, forming a crucial part of our maintenance strategy for long-lasting high quality. This approach not only ensures ongoing guest satisfaction but also minimizes the need for extensive maintenance projects in the long run.
Modern apartments with sustainability focus
The majority of our lodgings are Wangen Apartments, finalized in 2023, designed with a sustainability focus. These residences boast high-quality materials, top-notch furnishings, and energy-efficient features, ensuring enduring quality. Meanwhile, the remaining accommodations have been thoughtfully modernized to meet contemporary standards.
A commitment to well-being: staff work conditions
Our dedication to sustainability extends to the well-being of our staff. At Fjord Resort, we provide excellent working conditions, ensuring a positive and supportive environment for our team members.
