It has been an amazingly busy year for AH Escapes - record breaking in terms of holidays booked. We NEVER take your supoort for granted and we are super excited for 2025 and beyond as we look to continue to grow and to continue to help you make memories and dreams (travel-related anyway) come true.
We are signing off now for the Christmas period as we also need to get ready to travel - we will be spending the festive period with our very good friends in Switzerland. Looking at the forecast for Berne and the Oberland, I think we might get lucky and have a White Christmas too!
A gentle reminder of our opening hours in the coming days:
21st - 26th Dec: Closed
27th - 30th Dec: Open 9-7
31st Dec - 1st Jan: Closed
2nd Jan: Open 9-7 (normal hours thereafter)
If you are away on holiday or about to depart, we remain fully contactable throughout the Christmas period and you already have full contact details.
That just leaves us to say that we wish all of our friends, followers and clients past, present and future a very Happy Christmas, a peaceful New Year and a travel-filled 2025. Eat drink and have a wonderful time with loved ones.

These Winter Wonderland day trips take place in an uncommercial, wilderness location, unspoiled by mass-market tourism or crowds of Santa pilgrims. Itโs an outdoor day filled with Laplandโs favourite activities: snowmobiling, husky sledding, and a reindeer sleigh ride, along with a private family meeting with Santa in his log cabin. The activities take place around a frozen river, your base from which to set off on a search for Santa!
๐ฅฐ With convenient departures from regional airports across the UK, from as far north as Edinburgh to as far south as Exeter, Lapland is easily accessible to all.
๐ So whatโs Included?
โ
Return flights with hot meals onboard

Private family meeting with Santa

Small gift for children from Santa

Taster husky experience
