There's no place like Lapland; whether you're travelling Santa-style through the snow, being wowed by the mysterious Northern Lights, laughing around the campfire or attending elf school, this magical region has it all. And you might even meet the real Santa Claus.

If you're looking for the ultimate festive setting – they don't come any better than Pallas. This snow dusted wilderness has got Christmas all wrapped up. Tucked away in the northern fell region of Finland, it's about as far from the commercial crowds as you can get. Think endless glittering-white landscapes, wintery forests and lashings of peace. This must be one of Santa's favourite places to put his feet up after a busy Christmas Eve

This varied resort is located within Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, the third largest in Finland. There is a myriad of well kept trails and paths that lead to the most beautiful view points that the park has to offer. Because of the clean and varied nature of the surroundings, this resort is perfectly suited to all types of outdoor pursuit.

Due to its position, Pallas can be seen as an area of transition, where livelihoods change from the farming region to the South, through to the reindeer husbandry of the North.

This important and historical town has long served as a tourist destination and has therefore had many years to evolve and hone its facilities, enabling the many tourists to get the most out of their stay.
