FATHER CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS IN LAPLAND

FATHER CHRISTMAS MAGIC BY LAKE INARI
4 days from £1175 pp

The kaleidoscopic mix of cultures in Nellim with its Inari, Skolt and Northern Sami roots and the possibility of the Northern Lights swirling around over the pine forest, make a visit here something of a culinary & festive riot.

Immortalised as Enari in Philip Pullman’s trilogy ‘His Dark Materials’, Lake Inari is infused with the mysticism of Sami culture and the village of Nellim lies at its very heart. Here in this most tranquil of settings, an Inari Sami family create for their visitors a warm and magical atmosphere.

WILDERNESS HOTEL NELLIM

The Wilderness Hotel Nellim is owned and run by the Lappalainen family: Jouko and Mari. Here they have converted the old school house into a home for themselves, their twins and travellers looking for adventure and tranquility. 12 simply furnished rooms and apartments with private WC/shower; fresh food from the lake or forests and an authentic Sami family welcome, characterize the hotel. As well as a restaurant and a traditional Kota where you eat on one night of your trip, there is a traditional wood burning sauna.
