Lapland Explorer - 3 & 4 Night Trips

Resort

Levi

Levi has supermodel good looks mixed up with old-world style. The area's famous for the Levitunturi plain, with its views across northern Findland. The cosmopolitian town has a choice of restaurants ans bars, which will appeal to both families and couples. There's also a long list of winter sports including skiing, husky dog sledging and snowmobiling, along with ice-fishing and horse riding. Families will be on Santa-watch as the jolly fellow lives nearby , and everyone will want to stay up late to see the swirling greens and blues of the mysterious Northern Lights.

Pallas

If you're looking for the ultimate festive setting – they don't come any better than Pallas. This snow dusted wilderness in the northern fell region of Finlind is about as far from the commercial crowds as you can get. Think of endless glittering-white landscapes, wintery forests and lashings of peace. This must be one of Santa's favourite places to put his feet up after abusy Christmas Eve.

Yllas

For a taste of real Lappish living, Yllas is an unspoilt resort, surrounded by miles of white landscapes. In the resort, you'll find a small selection of traditional bars and restaurants and plenty of winter activities, including reindeer safaris, snowmobiling and great skiing.

Leave behind the big city attractions and soak up Levi, Pallas and Yllas' authentic Lappish atmosphere. Here, old world charm is a way of life and you'll always find a fireplace to snuggle up by. And if your Lapland holidays aren't complete without trying out some traditional activities like ice-fishing or snowmobiling, these are the spots to do it

Fly into Kittila

Day 1 – Get into the spirit (All Guests)

Plenty of carols and colouring-in will get you in the festive spirit on your flight to Lapland and the fun continues when Santa's elves meet you at the airport. After a merry welcome, settle into your quiet, snow-covered surrounds. Your afternoon's free, so why not find your ski legs or just chill fireside in your toasty hotel or log cabin.

Day 2 – A piste of the action (All Guests)

Get a taste of real Lappish life and enjoy a short husky sledge or snowmobile taster ride. Later on, soak up some culture at a traditional Arctic Circle Crossing Ceremony. You'll have some free time in the afternoon, so why not hop into a snowsuit and build your first snowman or challenge your family to a snow fight? There's also a short reindeer sleigh ride to test out.

Day 3 – Log fire fun (for Guests on 4 night stays)

Guests on 3-day stays will enjoy Day 4's activity list on their third and final day.

Was it horse power, puppy power or antler energy that won your heart yesterday? Whichever it was, you can relive the experience on an optional excursion today. If you'd rather, why not try your hand at some ice-fishing or just pass the day getting to know the locals in a quaint bar.

Day 4 ...ho ho fun (All Guests)

These activities will be on Day 3 for guests on a three-night stay and vary between resorts.

Today you'll meet the man who delivers sleigh-loads of cheer. You'll be busy on your visit to Santa's activity area decorating cookies and Christmas ornaments, tobogganing and saying 'hello' to the reindeer. And tonight, there's an extra-special Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. And, if you're good, Santa will stop by to hand out some presents.

For these Lapland trips, you'll fly into Kittila and can stay at any of our hotels in Levi, Pallas and Yllas.

Festivities are fun and because the days are so packed, activities can differ from the order above, but everything will be included at some point.
