Overview

Join a relaxed and atmospheric Christmas journey set more than 400 kilometres above the Arctic Circle, deep in the pristine wilderness of Finnish Lapland. At its heart is a four-night stay at Cahkal Hotel, a boutique Arctic hideaway recently featured in the Luxury Travel Mag by award-winning travel writer Matt Brace (after this travels with 50 Degrees North), who praised its sense of comfort, character and thoughtful hospitality in one of the most remote corners of the north.

Christmas here is unhurried and deeply rooted in place. Your days combine classic Lapland winter experiences – snowmobiling across frozen landscapes, meeting local reindeer herders, dog sledding and daily Finnish sauna rituals – with time to slow down and enjoy exceptional local cuisine at the hotel’s Aika Restaurant. On Christmas Eve, the celebration comes together with a traditional festive dinner and a special visit from Santa and his reindeer, creating an intimate and meaningful experience that feels authentic rather than staged.

This is a Christmas shaped by silence, snow and shared moments – a warm, welcoming alternative to more commercial festive destinations, where the spirit of the season is felt as much in the landscape as in the celebration itself.
