RESPONSible accommodation

RESPONSible accommodations are accommodations that meet and exceed RESPONS' sustainability criteria. They are accommodations that do more than just being environmentally friendly, but seek for the ultimate in environmental, social, cultural and economic sustainability. RESPONS is developing criteria which will be used to measure sustainability practices of accommodation providers in the area, and on this part of our website we will proudly present to you the accommodations that have passed our selection.

Since we have only just started, we now only offer you one accommodation, which is the super-sustainable and very comfortable mountain lodge called The Lazy Dog Inn. We hope to be able to offer you more sustainable accommodations soon.
