Choosing the Best Destinations for Magical Winter Activity Holidays
Every guest has different priorities and preferences, and our diverse winter activity breaks cater to every taste, with options to stay overnight in an astonishing Arctic Snow Hotel, lodge in a luxury glass igloo, or experience an authentic Sami tent with meals served around a roaring fire.
Whether you’d love to watch the thick snow falling from the relaxation of a five-star Arctic hotel, or spend your winter holiday exploring the snow-covered forests, snowshoeing and keeping watch for rare wildlife, the travel experts at the Baltic Travel Company will be delighted to provide some recommendations.
Short Winter Activity Breaks
Guests looking to escape for a long weekend or a few days in the run-up to Christmas often prefer a city break, with the Baltic capitals offering a perfect chance to unwind, browse the crafts, delicacies and treats in the Christmas Markets and even book day trips to try exciting activities in the more rural wilderness areas.
We can suggest the best destination for your wishes, but if you're looking for a brilliant break for the whole family, cities in the Nordics, such as Oslo, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm, and Reykjavik, are also excellent places to base your winter break.
Husky safaris remain one of the most popular experiences for guests of all ages, including families with little ones, a unique way to spend time flying over the snowy landscapes and soaking in the sights before heading back to your relaxing hotel.
Active Winter Escapes and Excursions
Visitors who want an unforgettable experience and to see everything that makes the snow-covered wilderness of the frozen north such a special place can choose extended packages, with a wide range of activities to select from.
Winter breaks from the Baltic Travel Company are curated to include dog sledding trips to find the elusive Northern Lights, with adrenaline-fuelled options like downhill skiing, snowmobiling group tours or a trip into the mountains for keen hikers who’d relish a challenging climb through the trails.
Christmas and New Year Winter Adventure Packages
Combining festivities and New Year's celebrations with the excitement of a snowmobile safari is a perfect way to round off your year, with trips that include special New Year's Eve gala dinners, romantic and secluded fireside dining, or that offer guests time to make the most of the freezing conditions to sample the slopes.
Local people across the Nordic, Arctic, and Scandinavian regions mark the Christmas period in style, with everything from wilderness camps with their very own reindeer and Santa grottos for children, snowman building, carol singing, delicious banquets, and extravagant celebrations to welcome in the New Year.
