Sustainability at HILL Ski Rent

Hill Ski Rent is part of the Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) program, and Hill Ski Rent Levi is about to earn the STF label as a recognition of our valuable and long-term commitment to sustainable tourism. For our other locations, we aim to achieve certification during the year of 2026. Already now, we operate according to the program’s principles in all our shops – continuously developing our practices for the good of the environment, people, and the local community. For us, responsibility is not a single action, but a way of thinking and doing things every day.

For nature

ern nature. Without its pure snow, forests, and silence, there would be no joy of skiing and outdoor activities that we wish to share.
That’s why we make sure our environmental impact remains as small as possible.

• We maintain and recycle our equipment to ensure long lifespans, minimize waste, and prefer renewable materials.
• Our rental shops in Levi, Ylläs, Ruka, and Tahko use energy-efficient solutions.
• We continuously develop maintenance methods that reduce the use of chemicals and water consumption.
• We collaborate with local partners to promote sustainable tourism throughout the region.

Nature gives us everything – and it’s our responsibility to ensure it remains for generations to come.eville sukupolville.

For people

Sustainability also means well-being and safety – for both our staff and our customers. Hill Ski Rent is a discrimination-free and safe space, where everyone is welcome as they are.

• The well-being, safety, and skill development of our staff are central to our operations.
• We actively promote equality and inclusion in everything we do.
• Customer safety is our top priority: equipment is regularly maintained, and our team advises on the correct and safe gear for each person.

We believe that when people feel good, it reflects in everything we do – including the experiences we provide.

Respecting locals

Hill Ski Rent is part of the Finnish nature and tourism culture.
We operate locally and collaborate with regional businesses, schools, and communities.

• We employ local people and support the regional economy.
• We invest in long-term relationships and responsible cooperation with our partners.
• We want our customers to experience authentic local atmosphere – people who know the area and its stories.

We respect the surrounding communities and their traditions – they make each of our destinations unique.

Renting is a Sustainable Choice

Renting equipment is an environmentally responsible choice. One rental item can serve dozens or even hundreds of skiers over its lifetime, instead of each person buying gear that often ends up unused.

• Renting reduces emissions from production and transportation.
• Well-maintained and recycled equipment lasts longer and saves natural resources.
• By choosing to rent, you lower your own carbon footprint and support sustainable consumption.

At Hill Ski Rent, we make it easy to choose sustainably – with high-quality, maintained, and safe gear that lasts and can be shared.
