We all long to experience a white Christmas, just like the ones that used to be common years ago. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning surrounded by snow-draped forests, frozen lakes and fells of Santa's own kingdom, deep inside the Arctic Circle. Enjoy the magic of the Davvi Arctic Lodge, complete with a visit to the grand old man himself, just before he sets out on his amazing round the world trip. Reindeer, Santa, snow and a sense of something special going on - isn't that what Christmas is all about? Here is a typical itinerary:
After you land in Enontekio in Finland you are guided to your coach. The one hour journey takes you through the heart of the Sami lands to the Davvi.
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 the Davvi Arctic Lodge your Transun rep hosts a welcome meeting, giving you all the information needed to get the most from your break. Thiis evening you can join one of the optional activities.
Christmas EveAfter breakfast, you will head out on your first safari - the snowmobile Adventure, followed by a warming lunch. A supervised kids' snowmobile ride will be available.
Then the highlight of the day when you board a reindeer sleigh and set off 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 dinner relax or join one of the optional evening excursions.
