The festive season is a good time to visit Father Christmas in his own magical kingdom of Lapland. Just after Christmas things are quieter in Lapland and it is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy some quality family time together, soaking up the wonderful atmosphere of Europe's last unspoiled wilderness as you set out into the magnificent snowscapes for a range of snow activities. And, what's more, Santa has not set off on his holidays yet and he will be happy to chat with you now that all his hard work is over. Here is a typical itinerary:
December 27
After you land in Enontekio in Finland you are guided to your coach. The journey to Hetta takes around 15 minutes. Watch out for reindeer in the woods!
Temperatures here can fall to -35C in December and you stop to collect your all-in-one thermal suits and boots, an essential part of your holiday package. Hats, scarves and gloves are also necessary, so remember to pack some for everyone!
After checking in at your chosen accommodation, your Transun rep hosts a welcome meeting, giving you all the information needed to get the most from your break. This evening you can join one of the optional activities.
December 28After breakfast, you will join the one hour snowmobile adventure. A supervied kids' snowmobile ride will be available. Lunch will follow. Then the highlight of the day when you board a reindeer sleigh in search of Father Christmas. During a private family meeting in his cabin, each child has the chance to talk with Santa and receives a small gift. After your festive dinner, relax, or join an optional night safari.
December 29
After breakfast head out on your included 40-minute Husky Experience, followed by a warming lunch.
Throughout the day you can enjoy snow activities outside, with toboggans available free of charge. Alternatively you might opt to join the indoor craft activities. This evening enjoy carol singing at the local church. After dinner relax or join an optional activity.
