There are few experiences quite as exhilarating as driving a snowmobile through Arctic snowscapes. Your short break includes a Snowmobile Adventure amid the fells, forests and frozen lakes of Europe's last wilderness. Obviously, with such powerful machines, strict rules apply and you must hold a full driving licence to take the controls. For safety reasons, children ride in a sledge pulled by your guide's snowmobile.

Your Snowmobile Adventure is only part of your three-night break / four-day trip. But there is so much more included. From a magical Search for Santa to a Husky Experience your short break is filled with magical experiences. Here is a typical itinerary.

Day 1
After you land in Enontekio Airport in Lappish Finland you will be escorted to your coach. The transfer journey ( one hour to the Davvi Arctic Lodge in Karesuando) takes you through the centre of the Sami heartlands. Watch out for reindeer in the woods! Your all-in-one thermal suits and boots collection will be organised by your representative. After checking in at your hotel, your local representative will host a welcome meeting and during dinner and they your the will be available to answer any further questions. Tonight, you can join one of our optional activities, such as a Northern Lights safari by snowmobile. See 'Optional Excursions' for details.

Day 2
After your breakfast, you take part in your first included Santa safari, a Husky Experience followed by a warming lunch. During the day you can enjoy snow activities outside, with toboggans available free. Or, if you prefer, there's plenty of family fun to be had making snowmen or enjoying a good old-fashioned snowball fight! This evening you return to your hotel for dinner. Later, you might want to join an optional night safari.

Day 3
After breakfast, you will be joining your second included Santa Safari - the snowmobile adventure. A warming lunch will then follow.  If you're lucky, a chance to get up close to a friendly reindeer.

Then, the highlight of the day when you board a reindeer sleigh and set off In Search of Father Christmas. During a private family meeting in his cabin, each child has the chance to talk with Santa and receives a small gift.

Why not join an optional safari and hopefully encounter the beautiful Northern Lights?

Day 4
Check out after breakfast at 0900hrs. There should be time for one final play in the snow or to join another optional excursion. After lunch, depart for Enontekio airport and your flight home.

Further Information

• All excursions include expert guides, equipment, and all necessary instruction. On our Northern Lights night safaris, we search for the best viewpoints rather than aim to cover a specific distance.
• On all safaris, unless a supplement is paid to secure a single rider, you will be required to share with another person from the group. All prices are per person. All distances and durations are approximate and subject to weather conditions and route on the day.
• All excursions are subject of minimum numbers and local conditions and are non-refundable. However, you will be automatically refunded the full price paid for your excursion if it doesn’t go ahead due to operational reasons.
• *All Snowmobile activities carry a €980 damage deposit which is payable locally. A valid driving license must be shown upon arrival.** The ability to drive and control a husky team on longer safaris is determined by physical attributes. Normally, anybody over the age of 18 should be able to handle a dog team comfortably.
