You will be able to completely relax as all the preparation, cooking and cleaning is done for you, leaving you with ample time to relax as a family and enjoy your magical surroundings.
Each Christmas chalet is simply furnished, consisting of two bedrooms and a loft with an additional two beds. There is also a kitchen, a cosy living room complete with wood-burning fireplace and a sauna where you can thaw out after a day of sledding or snowmobiling. The chalets are festively decorated throughout the year, so even visits after Christmas are possible, prolonging the Christmas experience.
The highlight of a stay in one of our Christmas chalets are the fantastic activities on offer and these humble and homely chalets are designed to be a comfortable and cosy retreat to retire to after a day in the snow. After all, you are unlikely to spend much time indoors with so much to do outside. The chalets offer easy access to the array of activities on offer in Lapland with cross-country ski tracks and hiking paths on your doorstep and, as night falls, you may even be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights dancing overhead.
We offer our Christmas chalets as part of an action-packed itinerary for the whole family including husky sledding, snowmobiling, rides on a reindeer sleigh and, of course, a visit to Father Christmas.
