Lapland Mirage Short Break - 2008
For those with very little time at their disposal the Lapland Mirage tour gives you that special feel of Lapland. The aim is to include the essential ingredients of the longer tours in a more confined time capsule. During your visit you will have the opportunity to skidoo, enjoy husky and reindeer rides and naturally meet the one and only Santa Claus.
Includes: Return flights to Kittila or Enontekio, accommodation on full board, individual family visit to Santa, gift allowance for children, reindeer and husky dog sleigh rides, snowmobiles for adults and children, snow games, ice fishing. Also includes transfers, thermal overalls AND boots as well as souvenir licences.
RESORT. Some 60 minutes from Kittila or Enontekio Airport 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.
Itinerary:
Day One: Fly from your chosen airport and transfer to your resort of Olos, where, upon arrival, you will be accommodated in your choice of accommodation. Late afternoon and early evening following the issue of your warm overclothing and boots to protect you from the cold, join in some simple snow games, tobogganing, snow shoe races, ice fishing and snowmobiling and make full use of this snowy environment. You may wish to enjoy a sauna prior to an evening buffet dinner, which will include children's favourites.
Day Two: Enjoy a substantial breakfast before leaving for your adventure to get a taste of all Lapland has to offer. At the venue experience the delights of a snowmobile and sleigh ride, adult snowmobiles, mini snowmobiles for children, reindeer ride, husky ride and tobogganing and ice fishing. Each family also has the opportunity of meeting the great man himself to discuss those special Christmas wishes. Return to the resort of Olos to check out of the accommodation & to have lunch before transferring back to Enontekio or Kittila airport. En route a stop will be made for the purchase of souvenirs.
