Sparkling Åland

Welcome to four sparkling weekends in the spirit of christmas!

Welcome to the Åland Glimrar/Sparkling Åland event! Stroll around the Christmas markets and make unique Åland-made Christmas gift discoveries. Enjoy a cup of warm mulled wine with friends and family and let the Christmas spirit envelop you.

Finland’s paradise island, Åland, lights up like a lighthouse during Christmas time. You can travel here on a weekend trip easily by boat from both Helsinki, Turku, Stockholm, Kapellskär and Grisslehamn.

The tradition of Christmas markets has a long history on Åland, resulting in a variety of unique markets. Åland Glimrar aims to bring all these wonderful markets together in one place, making it easy for visitors to discover and enjoy as many Christmas markets on Åland as possible.

The Christmas markets offer Christmas songs, shopping locally made products, Christmas atmosphere and of course mulled wine and gingerbread.

Combine your trip with great food, many of the restaurants offer traditional buffé style Christmas tables.

Happy holidays!
