The impact of Jeris Lakeside on its environment is not in keeping with all the clean air and sustainability claims that the company is making. |Idling company cars are parked at the hotel entrance, say 2 meters from the main door, for lengthy times. Same for room maintenance in the village, also at plus C temparatures. ||Snowmobile sledges are abandoned across ski tracks at down hills. Hotel provides plastic sleds in hotel yard, handily at the foot of the sign prohibiting toboganing in hotel yard. |There is also private property in the village. They co-finance the skiing track maintenance. A lot of maintenance is needed as tracks are used as walking paths by hotel quests. Snowshoes seem to need a prepared skiing track too, not what snowshoes are made for, one would think. ||Following the indicated one-way ski track signs does not apply to walkers, not a small risk for the less nimble skier like kids and the elderly meeting them when navigating down a one-way marked skiing-only track. ||There is always a discomfortable surprise when these issues are mentioned to hotel guests. Toujours surprise total. Immer ausserordentliche Überraschung. ||Valitettavasti myös niiden suomeapuhuvien, jotka eivät jaksa ja osaa hiihtää tunturissa ylä- ja alamäkeen, on käveltävä juuri niissä kohdissa, jossa hiihtäjä kaipaisi tasaista baanaa jäisen ja poljetun lumen sijaan. Maahisen majalle yksisuuntaista latua matkaavien taaperoiden on varottava muna-asennossa kiellettyyn suuntaan tulevia mestarihiihtäjiä. ||Guided consideration and self-guidance much needed, welcomed and appreciated. Like in the old days.
