Itinerary
Day 1:
After arriving at Ivalo Airport you will have a short 25-minute transfer to your accommodation in Saariselkä. Once you arrive at the hotel there will be an afternoon tea buffet ready for you. Your thermal suits, boots, socks and gloves are there to collect for all the family also.
This evening is your special Wilderness Dinner. Here you will have a meal in a Lappish Kota and then head off on a wonderful reindeer sleigh ride through the wilderness before coming back to a warming crackling fire.
Day 2:
This day is a free day to explore Saariselkä and snowy Lapland. Build some snowmen, make snow angels, go tobogganing and have some snowball fights, before enjoying your evening meal.
There are many optional excursions that can be booked also, including ski tasters, snowmobiling, husky-sled rides and reindeer sleigh rides.
Day 3:
It’s Search for Santa day and you will be taken by coach to the nearby Aurora Activity Centre for your day full of adventures.
Here you will swoosh through the snow in an extended husky sled ride and have a go at some fun snow and ice activities, such as snow hockey, mini skidoos and kick-sledding. Then enjoy the interactive elf show in the Elves Workshop and help them prepare for a busy Christmastime. Have a local Sami guide lead your reindeer sleigh to search for the big man himself, Santa Claus. There will be a magical delivery of your letter to Santa and a small gift for each child.
A warming 2 course lunch is provided to allow you to recharge your batteries for your full day of Lapland adventures. There’s also the warming room where you can get cosy around the fire with a hot berry juice and some ginger biscuits whilst looking out of the floor to ceiling windows over the Arctic wilderness.
Day 4:
After a buffet breakfast it’s time for one more exciting ‘must-do’ activity before heading to the airport. Hop on a snowmobile and drive (or be driven) through the wintry forest and take in the last moments of your magical holiday.
Please note: For departures on 23/12 and 24/12 only, your activity day will take place on day 2 and your free day will be day 3.
The brand new, contemporary, but charming, Star Arctic Hotel is set on the fell above Saariselka, about 1km above the resort at the top of the ski area. This allows the hotel to offer some fantastic views with the design of every room taking advantage of them.
