A Magical Day In Lapland to Meet Father Christmas

Meeting Father Christmas in Lapland is a most magical experience and one that will give the whole family memories to treasure. It's an early start but so worth it - even the flight feels festive, with buzz of excitement. After breakfast on the flight, you'll arrive at a small Lapland airport with a snow-covered landscape beyond. Your magical day in Lapland begins with a visit to collect thermal snow suits and boots, to keep you cosy in the snow - temperatures can drop to -30°C, so it's important to wrap up warm! You'll also need to wear layers of warm clothes and take hats and gloves from home - make sure they're warm and waterproof to keep you dry when you're playing in the snow.

The day is then spent in a wonderful, uncommercial, wilderness location, unspoiled by mass tourism; on the shores of a frozen lake or river. With a blanket of snow, there is so much fun to be had - sledging, snowball fights, snowman building, making snow angels... You'll also meet some huskies and go for a ride with their sleds and meet some of Santa's reindeer too, for a sleigh ride in the snow. Upping the pace, a snowmobile safari will give the adults the chance to drive their own vehicle, while the children enjoy whizzing along in a sled towed by the guide. Of course, the highlight of the day is your private family meeting with Father Christmas - a chance for children to give him their Christmas wish list letters in person.

What a wonderful, magical day! - but book early - these trips start booking up over a year in advance.
