Day 1
After being given your snow clothes at the airport, Santa’s elves will take you to your hotel in Levi or Yllas. Then, you’ve got the afternoon free to get a feel for your surroundings. Grab a toboggan and head for the slopes or take a walk through the snowy countryside.
Day 2
You’ll get a crash course in Lappish culture in this morning’s taster session. You can take a short husky sleigh ride, and have a go on a snowmobile. One of Santa’s elves will tell you a story around the fire, too. The afternoon is yours to spend how you fancy — wrap up and play in the snow or relax in the warmth of your hotel.
Day 3
You can take your pick of things to do today. Cruise through the countryside on a snowmobile, or sit back and relax on a sleigh as huskies or reindeer do the hard work. You can also book the Elf Adventure excursion – it takes place at Kittila’s incredible Snow Village and includes loads of outdoor activities.
Day 4
Today you’ll head to Santa’s activity area for a day of festive fun. Try your hand at decorating cookies and making Christmas tree ornaments, take a ride on a reindeer-pulled sleigh, and top your day off with a face-to-face meeting with Santa himself. Later, you’ll tuck in to a traditional Christmas dinner at the gala meal.
Day 5
It's time to say goodbye to your new friends before being transferred by coach to the airport for your flight home.
