Dashing Through the Snow 4 nights

You’ll land at Enontekio Airport from where your coach transfer to Kilpisjärvi will take approximately two hours. As you head to the northernmost part of Finnish Lapland, just sit back and enjoy the stunning vistas and remember to look out for herds of wild reindeer peeping out from the trees or an occasional Finnish Elk wandering along the roadside. We’ll have your thermal suits and boots ready for you on the way to your accommodation and, after checking in, you will be invited to a welcome meeting where your rep will tell you all you need to know to be able to make the most of your time in Lapland.

Following a tasty dinner, you can explore the area outside your accommodation or retire for an early night in readiness for tomorrow’s adventures. This is your first chance to try to spot the Northern Lights but, if they’ve not appeared, the dark sky - free from light pollution - will ensure the millions of stars shine bigger and brighter, and even the Milky Way may be visible to the naked eye

Following a good night’s sleep and a hearty breakfast you will set off for an exhilarating husky safari followed by the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful deep powdery snow. You’ll also have the chance, if you wish, to arrange an optional excursion such as reindeer herding or ice fishing by snowmobile. In the evening you can also experience a Northern Lights snowmobile safari tour.

It’s time for the highlight of your Lapland holiday as you search for Santa. But first, after breakfast, you’ll be able to take part in a snowmobile adventure. Get to grips with these powerful vehicles and cut through the pristine snow with the stunning Saana Fell as your backdrop.

You’ll then board a sleigh and set off across the countryside to search for Santa. The reindeer know the way to his home – after all, they’ve taken this route before and dropped him off at his front door after his magical one-night world tour last year! Once you have located his cabin you will be invited in for a private meeting with Santa. He’ll spend time chatting to the children before they receive a small gift to bring home with them as a memento. After the thrill of meeting the man himself, it’s time to board the sled once more and head back to your accommodation for a warming evening meal.

This is a chance for you to do what you want. Apart from mealtimes, it’s a free day. You can explore your surroundings more fully, simply enjoy the snow with your family or try some optional excursions. It’s entirely up to you!

After breakfast you’ll check out of your accommodation. But there will still be time to enjoy a last-minute stroll around the area, a final play in the snow or one last optional extra before lunch. It will then be time to board the coach for your transfer to the airport and your journey home.
