Enchanting Lapland

Summary

Highly recommended. In our opinion, the best day break around.

Duration: 1 Day

It's an early departure from your chosen airport and breakfast will be served during the flight. It takes around three and a half hours to fly to Lapland and on arrival in Enontekio (way above the Arctic Circle) you will be provided with an all-in-one snow suit and boots to keep you warm during the day. Then it's time to set off by snowmobile and sleigh to a beautiful location beside a frozen lake.

Once at the venue you can relax and enjoy the magic of this winter wonderland. Learn to drive a snowmobile (suitable for adults and children alike). All children love tobogganing and at this location you will find special Stiga toboggans, which allow greater steering ability.

As you enter the ice igloo there are ice sculptures and tables made of ice, where you may sit and sample some traditional hot berry juice. No journey to Lapland would be complete without experiencing a traditional sleigh ride pulled by either a team of huskies or Santa's faithful reindeer. Yet, where will you find Santa? . . . Well, a snowmobile and sleigh will be waiting to transport you to his home in the forest. Father Christmas knows you have travelled far to see him and your meeting with him has been carefully organised by Santa's Helper. Each child will receive a gift from Santa.

Lunch is available throughout the day and the menu usually includes soup, baked potatoes with either a meat or vegetarian filling, pasta and a sweet dessert of pancakes and jam. Finally it's time to return to Enontekio, leaving Santa and his helpers to continue with their important duties. Dinner will be served on the return flight.
