The good news is that there is a very easy way to keep that dreaded post-Christmas malaise at bay - a Betwixmas short-break to the Arctic Circle! Not only will a Northern Lights short-break help you to make the most of those empty days between Christmas and New Year, but it is also an excellent time to go in search of the Aurora. What’s more, with plenty of snow on the ground, you will have a perfect playground for a range of thrilling Arctic activities too. With this in mind we have put together a list of 5 of our favourite Betwixmas holidays to really make the most of the days after Christmas!
1) Wilderness Hotel Inari – Active Aurora Short Break
Situated on the edge of one of the largest lakes in Finland, Wilderness Hotel Inari is the ideal destination for anyone looking for some wow factor from their holiday. Not only is the scenery simply stunning, but the hotel also happens to be one of the most spectacular that we offer, with excellent levels of comfort and some wonderful upgrade options too. Of course, you don’t travel to the Arctic just for the hotel! Fortunately, this 3-night break also includes some of the region’s best pastimes too, with dog sledding, snowmobiling and a visit to a local reindeer farm included alongside a snowshoe adventure in search of the Northern Lights and an Aurora Camp. It’s safe to say that this is an excellent way to make the most of those empty days between Christmas and New Year!
