Six Senses Svart in Norway Goes Off-Grid with First Energy-Positive Project
Stands weightlessly at the foot of the spectacular Svartisen glacier. Groundbreaking technology makes it the first net energy-positive destination in the world. Off-grid and carbon neutral with local production and zero waste to landfill. Technological innovation will provide a blueprint for sustainable development. With booming demand for adventurous and eco-conscious travel, northern Norway is one of the last frontiers for a self-sustainable, off-grid destination. The 94-room Six Senses Svart combines a futuristic design and technological innovation with earthy, organic materials that use the least embedded energy. The name Svart, which means black and blue in old Norse, is a reference to the natural heritage of the ancient Svartisen glacier, which lies just within the Arctic Circle, where summer days last forever and winter nights are lit by the breathtaking Northern Lights. To minimize the on-site impact, Six Senses Svart is poised on poles above the crystal-clear waters of the Holandsfjorden fjord, at the base of the glacier itself.
