PAN Village; Exploring Europe's Wilderness
Our PAN Villages are in unique settings near untouched wilderness and visitors of our holiday parks get the unique opportunity of being close to unspoilt nature. A PAN Village is always situated in the immediate vicinity of a PAN Park; a national park with a special wilderness area where nature is left to thrive on its own as much as possible, so its flora and fauna are not disturbed.
Our PAN Villages, adjacent to PAN Park Fulufjället in Sweden (North Dalarna) and near PAN Park Oulanka in Finnish Lapland, offer their visitors the ultimate in accommodation; PAN Village Fulufjällsbyn and PAN Village Oulanka.
Your stay at one of our holiday parks also means that you contribute to the protection of wilderness and development of that unique wilderness. All stugas and log cabins in our PAN Villages are sustainable-built, comfortably furnished and in harmony with their environment. Nature is our basic principle for your stay on one of our holiday parks, so they are small-scaled and offer you a wide range of activities in the unspoilt nature they are set nearby. Second, PAN Village offers the opportunity to support wilderness protection as it financially contributes to the conservation work of the PAN Parks Foundation.
PAN Parks; Protecting Europe's Wilderness
The PAN Parks Foundation works to protect Europe’s wilderness, the continent’s most undisturbed areas of nature. The Foundation was founded as a result of collaboration between Molecaten and WWF in 1997.
The Foundation develops a network of certified PAN Parks to serve as best examples and promote wilderness in Europe. A PAN Park offers a unique wilderness area with still undisturbed nature and these certified parks have high-quality tourism facilities, well balanced with wilderness protection and sustainable local development. PAN Parks are certified based on strict criteria, just as local businesses that work together with the park and offer quality services.
There are eleven PAN Parks in Europe and more than eighty local business partners in and around these areas. For more on PAN Parks visit: www.panparks.org
