Visit a sustainable destination in Sweden

 

Ofelas Islandshästar & Guideservice

In the shadow of Sweden’s highest mountain Kebnekaise you find a small, experienced guiding company with Icelandic horses. The area is close to Kalix river in the north, an ancient Sami country, where you are constantly reminded of the previous generations and their way of life. Kerstin Nilsson and Matti Berg, who run Ofelas, actually both have Sami roots, and the word Ofelas refers to the word “guide” in Sami.

An environmental pioneer

The first country in the world to establish an Environmental Protection Agency in 1967, Sweden also hosted the first UN conference on the global environment in 1972.


Ambitious goals for sustainability in Sweden

The Swedish government has set ambitious goals for sustainability, including going fossil-free by 2045 and 100 per cent renewable energy.
