Celebrate Christmas in the Heart of the Cairngorms
Escape to a true winter wonderland this festive season. Nestled in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, Aviemore and its surrounding villages set the perfect stage for a magical Christmas getaway. Our Great North Lodges become your cosy home-from-home, ideal for gathering with loved ones and making lasting memories.
Step outside and you’re in the middle of Scotland’s most breathtaking winter landscapes. Wander the snow-dusted forest trails or take in the serene beauty of Loch Morlich, often frozen and glistening at this time of year.
And yes, it really is that magical. Real reindeer, a real Santa, and a sprinkle of snow turn the area into a Christmas postcard come to life. Whether you’re looking for festive family fun or a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, a Great North Lodge is the perfect base for your Christmas adventure.
We have reindeer, yes real reindeer and a real santa!! The magic of The Cairngorms in the snow with real reindeer, santa and snow makes a great north lodge over the festive period like nothing else. Experience the wonder of christmas in the heart of Scotland.
