Itinerary

It’s time to pop your Christmas jumpers on, head to the airport, and jet off to the Narnia-like world of Lapland.

On arrival at Kuusamo Airport, the fabulous Arctic Stars will be waiting to welcome you and they’ll guide you to your coach. During the journey to Suomu, you’ll receive some useful information about your time in Lapland. And, of course, your Arctic Star will begin to reveal how you can help the little Elf…

Whether you have chosen to stay at the Arctic Circle Hotel or in a cosy Suomu log cabin, you can expect all the usual creature comforts to make your stay enjoyable. Arrangements have been made to collect your snowsuits and boots this evening.

It’s Christmas Eve, wrap up warm and be ready for the festive fun to begin. It’s time for the first adventure at Elf School. Don’t forget to bring your Elf Passport!

Over the coming days, your mission is to collect a stamp in your passport for each activity that you complete at Elf School. When you complete the tasks set, only then will Sparkle be awarded ‘Special Elf’ status.

The elves will show you how to sort Santa’s mail at the Post Office and there will be time to make some cards; you’ll master driving a snowmobile in the National Forest and enjoy magnificent husky and reindeer sleigh rides in this stunning, picture-postcard setting. To complement these amazing experiences, you’ll hear tales from the rangers about the working lives of the reindeer and huskies, after all, they are Santa’s trustworthy companions.

After an exciting and action-packed day, it’s time to return Suomu for a relaxing dinner, while Santa starts his remarkable journey this evening, delivering presents around the world.

 

Waking up on Christmas Day in Lapland is simply magical, and you can truly appreciate the natural beauty of this mystical land.

Today apprentice elves can test their driving skills on the mini-skidoos before having lots of fun playing games with the Elves. You’ll also experience an exciting sleigh ride across the snowy tundra passing the beautiful fells of Suomu.

The big question is, will Santa be at his HQ today? If he is, then Father Christmas will be so pleased to see you and very impressed with the support you have given to little Sparkle.

Later, enjoy maximum magic with the elves and have yet more fun on the slopes tobogganing.

This evening tuck into Christmas dinner, then dance the night away with the elves at a special festive disco.

As it’s Boxing Day you have free time this morning where you can relax in the resort or head to Ruka where you can wander around the shops, then visit a reindeer farm and meet and feed Santa’s furry friends.

For those who are feeling a little more energetic, you can book an optional excursion to ski in Suomu (local charges apply).

This afternoon, it’s time to attend the Elf Finishing School to ensure that you have mastered the tasks set and collected all your stamps. Enjoy a snowshoe walk, and the children can practice their driving skills once again.

After dinner, it’s time to celebrate your amazing achievements at the Elf Graduation Party!
