Would you like to spend your next Christmas in Lapland in a snow-covered forest, winter activities at your door and a private Santa visit to his cottage in the wilderness? Christmas is a time for families to make new memories together, and this is where we step in. Our Small Group Tour include hand-picked restaurants with all the trimmings, experienced local guides and a Tour Leader on hand.
The village of Levi is located 170 km north of the Arctic Circle, deep in Finnish Lapland surrounded by the peaceful old forests, high enough that the Northern Lights will hopefully blaze across the sky. Your family will stay in your own private log cabin, with fireplaces, living rooms and sauna. Enjoy great local food and join in some exhilarating winter activities like husky & reindeer sledding and snowmobiling.

Arrive at airport and transfer to your log cabin accommodation. Free time for relaxing in your cabin: light the fire, make a cup of tea and watch the kids make their first snowman. Decorate the Christmas tree on your arrival in the cabin (optional add on).
In the evening dinner at a very special glass roofed igloo restaurant, you will meet your fellow travellers at a welcome dinner. Before or after this dinner, our tour escort will take you for a walk to the supermarket where you will be able to purchase breakfast supplies for your cabin (choose your own supplies and pay for these locally). You will then be able to enjoy a relaxing breakfast in the comfort of your own each morning with your family before the day's activities.
Enjoy your first evening in Lapland. With no light pollution and no noise you can truly feel the beauty of the Arctic night, admire the night sky and hopefully see the Northern Lights. Hear the silence of the wilderness and breathe in the cleanest air in Europe.
Come and experience the delights of riding a snowmobile through snow-covered forests. Spend time in the nature of the Arctic Lapland. Before the safari you will change clothing for the winter safari equipment and get instruction for driving snowmobile and safety rules, along with ice fishing.
After your ride through the forest, enjoy lunch at Hotel K5 Levi Restaurant. Then it is a free afternoon - perhaps you might hit the ski slopes, go horse riding in the forest, ice go-karting or enjoy some Christmas shopping.
This evening is free so your family can enjoy their own Christmas Day evening.
After breakfast, start your arctic experience with huskies. This is what you absolutely should try in Lapland! After the safety instructions, you will start the journey out into the forests. Enjoy the silence and beautiful winter scenery of Levi. Everyone will experience husky team driving (one is driving, one is sitting on a sledge). Enjoy some hot drinks around a fire before experiencing a reindeer ride and lunch at the farm.
Merry Christmas and welcome to the magical land of elves. Feel the exhilaration of Christmas as you glide down the snow-covered slope on a sled, engage in a spirited game of elf football, bake delicious gingerbread cookies, learn to make X-mas crafts and much more. And what would the Christmas magic be without meeting Santa Claus himself? Step inside his home, engage in conversation, and experience the wonder of meeting the legendary figure of Christmas. Meeting Santa Claus is full of surprises. All this and much more awaits you in Elves Village, where magic and the spirit of Christmas intertwine.
This evening, enjoy a Christmas Dinner at a local restaurant.
Beyond meeting Santa, the Elves' Village has a variety of attractions and experiences that bring the spirit of Christmas to life in every corner. Visitors can explore whimsical spots such as the Elves’ Hideaway, Bear Chair, and Seita Stone, enjoy traditional activities like gold panning and sauna bathing, and meet charming animals including quirky chickens and friendly sheep. The village also features cultural and mystical elements like the Temple, Blacksmith’s Workshop, Water Demondell, and Herb Garden, all connected by a forest path filled with hidden surprises. Santa’s vehicles and the Elves’ Homes Museum add to the charm, making it a perfect destination for families, adventurers, and anyone seeking a touch of Nordic magic.
Take a step back and enjoy the local options this morning. You can head to the ski slopes for some downhill skiing, go cross country skiing or even, go ice go karting. There are a lot of different options depending on your family - some need to be booked early or you can go with the flow.
This evening, meet the group for your final dinner at the Steakhouse Restaurant.
Independent transfer to the airport and travel home.
