Come with us to a magic place called Lapland, to Pyhätunturi, situated above the Arctic Circle in Finland. Picture snow-laden forests, crisp Arctic air, reindeer, Santa and the soft glow of candlelight – welcome to Lapland.
This is the perfect winter wonderland to meet Santa, take husky and reindeer safaris, and experience the exhilaration of a snowmobile ride across frozen landscapes. As evening falls, sit around a crackling fire with a mug of hot chocolate and keep watch for the Northern Lights, far away from city light pollution.
A 1.5 hour drive from Rovaniemi, the Hotel Pyhätunturi is the perfect location to experience all Lapland has to offer. Accommodation is in hotel rooms or the hotel apartments, scattered close behind the hotel. Perched on the side of the fell (Scottish word for small mountain), the hotel and surrounding apartments provide wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. The hotel complex offers a restaurant, bar, sauna, gym, compact convenience store and the reassurance of a resident doctor. Breakfast for all guests is served in the hotel.
The village below, set at the foot of the fell, has a supermarket, souvenir shops, a Nature Centre and a selection of restaurants. In addition to the activities included in your stay, there are further excursions and experiences available locally, allowing you to tailor your time in Lapland to suit you.
