Sustainability at Valle Camping
Valle Camping is a family business by a lake in the Valle district. We produce part of our electricity ourselves, have EV charging bays and sort our waste. Here we tell you what we do, and what we are still working on.
We want you to be able to be close to the lake and nature without leaving a mark, and we do what we can to make that happen. Valle Camping is a family business, and everyone who works here lives nearby.
Our electricity
We have solar panels on the farm and try to produce as much of our own electricity as we can. When we buy electricity, we try to choose renewable. The lighting is LED, and Valle Hus has a heat pump that heats parts of the house. If you arrive in an electric car, you can charge at our four charging bays, which you buy as an add-on when you book.
Water, waste and products
We have municipal drinking water, and the wastewater goes to the municipal treatment plant. Little by little we are changing taps and fittings to ones that use less water.
At the waste station next to the service building you sort paper, coloured and clear glass, metal, plastic and deposit bottles, and what is left you put in general waste. We choose environmentally friendly cleaning and hygiene products and avoid disposable items where we can, and you can help us by bringing your own towels and switching off the light when you leave the cabin.
The lake and the sauna
The sauna on the jetty is heated with wood from trees on our own land, and the lake is as warm or cold as it is. Lake Husgärdessjön has a lot of life in and around it, and if you want to know more, we have our species guide.
Knowledge and nature
We believe knowledge makes the world a little better, and we like to tell you about small things that can make a visit more sustainable, such as the right of public access and how nature looks and works. You will find this in our species guide, on the page about the right of public access and on the pages about exploring the area. We also give tips on how to get around without a car and on restaurants and places nearby, and Hiking in Valle is a good place to start.
People in the area
For us, sustainability is also about people. Valle Camping is a family business, and with us young people from the area can get their first summer job. When we build and maintain, we prefer to use local people.
What we are still working on
We are changing more taps and fittings, trying to produce more of our own electricity, and working to reduce our waste and sort even better.
