OLLOS
Some 60 minutes from Kittila or Enontekio Airport in the direction of Muonio, lies the ski resort of Olos, truly another hidden Lappish gem. There are only a few places in Lapland where one can imagine the location to be the home of Santa Claus and it no wonder why Santa has chosen Olos as one of his special homes in Lapland. The setting is peaceful and tranquil and yet it provides all the creature comforts you may require. Here you find cross country tracts at your door and slalom ski slopes running into the centre of activities.
SALLA
A small and pretty ski resort in splendid isolation, Located some 2 hours from Rovaniemi the setting is peaceful and tranquil whilst the resort offers the creature comforts that one might expect. Here one finds cross country tracts at your door and a beautiful slalom ski slope running into the very centre of activities so it is little wonder that Santa has chosen this area to have one of his many homes in Lapland.
Itinerary
Day One:
Following your arrival you transfer to Salla or Olos and are accommodated in hotel rooms, bungalows or cabins in accordance with your wishes. Overgarments and boots will be allocated this evening to keep you warm. Welcome evening dinner in the restaurant.
Day Two:
After a fortifying Finnish breakfast it's time to consider the activities of the day. You will enjoy a variety of activities as you search for Santa... husky rides, sometimes even the opportunity of husky mushing, reindeer rides and of course the inevitable snowmobiling over prepared tracts. You may even spot Speedy Sam rushing through the woods to finish off the last preparations for Christmas! Lunch will be taken at an outside setting and dinner will be served in your hotel restaurant.
Day Three:
Following a hearty breakfast, skidoos, reindeer and huskies will once again be used as your search continues. Make sure you keep an eye out for Santa's elves as they are sure to help you on your search for Santa. Fortunately Father Christmas is known never to disappoint children taking the time and trouble to come to his homeland and you can therefore be certain of meeting him sometime during today for that very special encounter. Lunch once again will be taken at an outside location. This evening enjoy a farewell dinner in the hotel restaurant.
Day Four:
A choice of activities is offered for the morning including down hill skiing (slalom) cross country skiing, ice fishing and other snow based activities. Lunch will be taken in the hotel and an opportunity provided to buy some traditional souvenirs en route before joining your return flight to the United Kingdom.
