Party in the woods
Winter Festival
Summer has the long, light evenings, but winter in the forest has a completely different atmosphere. Candles, crisp winter air, bare treetops and perhaps even snow create a very special setting for the year's parties and red-letter days.
At Herthadalen you can host a winter party in the middle of the forest – whether the occasion is a milestone birthday, wedding anniversary, work anniversary, christening, or simply a good excuse to gather those you care about.
Winter in the forest is quiet and sensory. Outside, the landscape settles down, while candles, warmth and our bright function rooms set the scene inside. This provides space for long lunches, dinners, speeches and celebrations at a pace where there is plenty of time for each other.
And even though the season changes, we do not change our approach. The hospitality, the food and the setting are the same all year round – with the Forest Kitchen, the seasonal produce and nature right on the doorstep.
