Santa, snow and sleigh rides – holidays in Lapland are the place to soak up the real spirit of Christmas past, present and future. And it doesn’t matter whether you’re ho-ho-ho-ing with excitement over meeting the big ‘S.C’ or dreaming of an authentic white Christmas in the glittering forests of Pallas. We’ve got your extra-special Christmas covered. 

Lapland holidays and snowy fun go together like mistletoe and wine. But, what` a trip to this Finnish fun land without shaking hands with the big SC? On this action-packed day out, you’ll head to a huge ice village complete with igloos and tepees. There you`l stop by Santa’s cabin and, if you’ve been good, you’ll get a present. Some of Santa` hardworking helpers will be on hand for you to meet and they’ll share some Christmas tales. After, you can test your snow legs snowshoeing and learn to drive a snowmobile.

Itinerary:

Fly to Kittila
You’ll touchdown in Lapland around midday and be taken to The Snow Village where your snow-bound adventure begins.

A Feast Treat
Take it from us, Mrs Claus can cook. So be ready for a belt-busting lunch in the Claus`log restaurant.

Oh, Deer
It’d be rude to say ‘hi’ to Santa and not visit Rudolph and his reindeer friends. So, meet Christmases sleigh-pulling crew and get your sleigh-driving licence. After, listen to some of the local herders and elves tell you a story or two about Santa’s reindeers.

Husky Fun
You’d be barking mad to miss out on a husky ride and the chance to learn about how the dogs are trained. Plus, the elves have an interesting story to tell about how the huskies saved Christmas.

Sibling snowfights
Ready, aim, fire! There’s nothing like a family-friendly snow fight or snowman-building session. There’s also a mini-skidoo driving and snowshoe action, too. After, warm up by the campfire with hot berry juice and gingerbread.

Magical Fun
Meet a real Shaman and watch the Lappish storyteller perform a special Arctic ceremony.

It’s Santa…
Shake hands and get a present from Santa in his top-secret cabin. Plus, impress the red-suited fellow with your language skills by saying ‘hello’ in Finnish. Don’t worry, the elves will teach you how.

Snow power
Rev up your engines and learn to drive a snowmobile. After, you can explore the snow-covered winter wilderness.

Cool fun
Get ready for a cool visit to Lapland’s Ice Hotel. The whole place is made from ice – even the furniture – and there’s loads to see.

Your Arctic day is filled with things to do and so, to fit it all in, the order of events may be different to what’s listed above. Don’t worry though, you’ll still get to do everything.
