Day 1...Time to chillax

Touch down at Ivalo airport and you'll be whisked off to your Saariselka hotel. There, the elves will make sure you're warm and comfy in special Arctic clothing. Why not explore Saariselkä this afternoon? You'll easily spot the indigenous Sami people in their bright-coloured traditional clothes.

Day 2...A big day out

Enjoy a sleep-in if you like today because you'll need to save up all your energy for this afternoon's fun at Santa Resort. This cool park is where the jolly fellow lives with his crew of elves. And together they’ve got loads for you to do. For a start, you'll meet Santa in his snow-covered log cabin and – as you sip a hot drink and nibble on gingerbread biscuits – you can tell him your Christmas wishes. But that's not all. The elves will give you a tour of their kingdom and you’ll meet the all-important reindeer who help Santa deliver his presents. If you're keen, you can give snowmobiling and a husky dog ride a go on special taster rides.

Day 3...Festive flicks

Forget outdoor cinema in the summer because, on holidays in Lapland, going to the movies is seriously cool fun. On this optional excursion you'll head deep into the forest for a festive film treat. Don't worry, you'll be all rugged up in special snow gear and blankets, and there’s a log cabin with an open fireplace if you need a break from the snowy setting. Don’t worry if you work up an appetite, your Gala dinner is tonight. If you're on a three-day break, you can also opt to do your optional excursions today.

Day 4

fter a magical few days, it’s time to say goodbye to your new friends before being transferred by coach to the airport for your flight home.
