We flew to Kiruna in the Swedish Arctic Circle for a wonderful and unforgettable Christmas stay. Weekend a la carte had recommended a super variety of activities - from visiting the Ice Hotel to a day's snow-mobiling in the national park (with a warming cup of soup half-way through) to fulfilling a lifetime dream of driving a husky team to cutting our own holes on the frozen ice lake to fish on Christmas Day - we didn't catch anything but who cared - the beautiful scenery, the toasty fire in the amazing hut on ski's which the guide took out to our fishing spot and the fun of having a go was more than enough! The Lodge was warm and welcoming and a total surprise was the quality of the food cooked by superstar young chef Magnus - worthy of any top London restaurant - we will be watching out for him on Masterchef! Thank you Weekend a la carte for a truly memorable and personal trip.
