Pyhä Christmas holidays
If you’re looking for a fun, family-orientated break, Pyhä is the perfect solution for a white Christmas with a hefty dose of Scandinavian tradition and Santa spirit. Lapland is really in its element over Christmas; the town usually throws huge Christmas parties where the bars are packed out with tourists and locals. Kids will never want to leave, with buckets of activities to choose from... The husky sledding and reindeer safaris are two star attractions but nothing beats a visit to see Santa Claus in Lapland. Meanwhile, adults will appreciate Pyhä’s stunning scenery and magical nature, whilst having the chance to see the Northern Lights first-hand, an unbeatable experience.
Skiing conditions tend to be great at this time of year with plenty of snow coverage and floodlit pistes to enable afternoon skiing, even when it’s getting dark. Later on, warm up in a rustic restaurant and fill up on Finnish delicacies or pick something from a festive menu, usually on offer at Glacier a la Carte or Hotel Pyhätunturi’s restaurant.
