Authentic Christmas memories will most certainly be made on this family holiday and not only will you get to meet 'the man himself', but you'll also experience fabulous hospitality, outstanding Finnish food and exhilarating winter activities.
So, let the fun commence with 2 full days of back to back activities!!
Where Santa goes, of course there are reindeer, and you will kick start your adventure meeting some of these curious creatures at a local reindeer farm. Learn how to throw the Lappish lasso and let them nuzzle your hand as they nibble on lichen before taking a sleigh ride around the forest enclosure. Moving on to something a little faster, explore the stunning snow-laden landscapes during a thrilling snowmobile journey through the taiga forest. Whilst the adults have fun riding tandem, the children will be wrapped up warm and towed in a sled by the guide. Swapping back to a more natural mode of transport the exhilaration remains as you embark on an unforgettable husky dog sled safari. On one evening, take a trip by snowmobile drawn sledge to an Aurora Camp where you can gaze to the dark Arctic skies for signs of the northern lights, sipping on warm berry juice and munching on pancakes warmed on the fire while you wait.
The highlight though, certainly for the kids, will be meeting Santa Claus! A snowmobile sleigh ride through the snowy landscape will take you to his secret forest hideaway where a private meeting with the man himself will bring joy all round and a gift for everyone.
This trip is available at Wilderness Hotel Muotka, Wilderness Hotel Nellim and Wilderness Hotel Inari, all located in the far reaches of northern Lapland. Their northern locations provide the perfect setting for a family winter break, and a unique destination for those seeking solitude yet still looking for adventure.
