Pallas holidays

Holidays to Pallas take you to a magical spot in the heart of Lapland. It's stashed away in a national park where there's hardly any air pollution here – so it's a top spot to go on the hunt for the Northern Lights.

A winter wonderland

There's just one hotel in Pallas – in Finland's northern fell region – which goes to show how off-the-grid it really is. With its snow-covered landscape of forest and lakes, it’s like waking up in Narnia, and the tucked-away isolation only adds to the magic. And since Father Christmas lives here, there’s every chance he’ll be popping by for a visit.

Pallas-Yllastuntari National Park

Pallas sits inside Finland’s third-biggest national park. This covers some 1,020 square kilometres and has the purest air of any national park in the world. It’s a one-of-a-kind spot for hiking – walkers can enjoy around 350 kilometres of marked trails through primeval forest. There’s also plenty of wildlife to discover, including reindeer, red squirrels, arctic hare and – if you’re lucky – the elusive brown bear.

Husky and snowmobile rides

This is the home of the husky-sled ride. Here, you can race through a snowy forest with a head torch to light the way. And if you’re lucky, you might get a cuddle with the puppies afterwards. Snowmobiles, meanwhile, let you zip across frozen lakes, James Bond-style.

Your itinerary

Our Lapland holidays feature action-packed itineraries which can vary from hotel to hotel – you can head to your hotel’s info page for a flavour of what to expect. It’s also worth noting that all itineraries are subject to change – this is usually down to weather conditions in your resort.
