Overview
Escape to the Arctic circle and the official home of Santa Claus in Lapland, on a Christmas holiday where you can explore the frozen landscape by husky rides, meet and learn about the reindeer, and with luck, witness the magical spectacle of the Northern Lights
Your festive family adventure begins the moment you touch down in Ivalo airport, where you’ll be picked up and transferred to your beautiful accommodation. Nestled in the snow-covered pine forest, your cabins allow you and the family uninterrupted views of the dark sky of the polar night.
With clear skies and the right conditions, you will be able to witness nature’s most spectacular light show, the aurora borealis. If you choose one of our panoramic view suites then witness them all from the comfort of your cosy room and the base for the remainder of your stay.
Take part in thrilling family activities, from hissing along snow-covered tracks and frozen fells on a husky sled, and get to meet and learn about Sámi culture and the life of a reindeer.
And of course, it wouldn’t be a Christmas holiday in Lapland without setting off in search of the man himself, a family-orientated activity that will provide the festive magic for those kids (and adults) who are still swept away by the spirit of Christmas.
Your accommodation is in the a room or suite, which can accommodate from 1 – 5 people. If you haven’t found the right accommodation to suite your group size we have alternative options in unforgettable Aurora Cabins and the lovely log cabins and villas for larger groups.
*Based on a family of 3 travelling from 1st – 15th December in a Wilderness Room
