Spending Christmas in Lapland, deep inside the Arctic Circle, will provide all your family with special memories they will treasure forever. What better present could you give them? Your Christmas in Lapland will be filled with activities to keep your children enthralled throughout this very special time of year, not least setting out in search of the grand old man himself. Because while Christmas Eve is the busiest day in the year for Santa, by Christmas Day he is back from his round-the-world journey, and, although a little tired, he will be happy to say hello to any children who have come to visit him.

Your Christmas Day experiences in Santa's kingdom are just part of your short break. There is so much more included. From a Husky Experience to a Search for Santa, from a memorable Christmas Dinner to a Snowmobile Adventure, your four-night break is filled with magical experiences. Here is a typical itinerary.

Day one
Your flight departs around 10am, and at Enontekio Airport, you are guided to your coach. The magical journey to Hetta takes between 20 minutes, to Karesuando around one hour and to Kilpisjarvi around two hours (watch out for Santa's reindeer in the woods!). Your all-in-one thermal suits and boots will be organised by your representative. After checking in at your chosen accommodation, your representative hosts a welcome meeting and will answer any further questions during dinner.

Day two
After breakfast, you head out on your first safari - a thrilling Husky Experience followed by a warming lunch. Throughout the day you can enjoy snow activities, with toboggans available free. Or there's plenty of family fun to be had making snowmen or enjoying a good old fashioned snowball fight!

Alternatively, you might opt to try one of our exciting optional excursions, such as trying your hand at Reindeer Herding. You return to your hotel for dinner.

Day three
After breakfast, you will be joining your second included Santa activity- the Search for Santa including 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 is when you board a reindeer sleigh and set off In Search of Father Christmas. During a private family gathering in his cabin, each child has the chance to talk with Santa now that he is back from his annual journey around the world. Each child receives a small gift. After a special Christmas Dinner, relax, or join one of our optional night safaris.

Day four
After breakfast, you can join one of our optional excursions such as befriending some husky puppies or driving your own reindeer sleigh on our Reindeer herding excursion. Alternatively, you may want to spend time playing in the snow with your family. After lunch, the afternoon is free to relax, enjoy some more family fun in the snow, or perhaps join one of our optional excursions. After dinner, relax, or join one of our optional night safaris.

Day five
Check out after breakfast at 0900hrs, after which the morning is free for one final play in the snow or to join one of our optional excursions. After lunch, you depart for Enontekio 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, 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 licence 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.
