An authentic, more personalised trip to Lapland with lots of activities and a private Santa visit!
RESORT:Muonio
Duration: 4 Days
The Wake up Santa trip lets you experience the real Lapland, away from mass-market, over-commercialised trips. This trip is a much more personalised experience.
The run-up to Christmas is a magical time in Lapland. Santa is getting ready for his mammoth journey across the world, the elves are busy making all the presents. What better time to pay him a visit with your Christmas wishes for the year?
Staying in either Harriniva or Jeris you can guarantee that Santa’s reindeer and the elves are not far away.
The highlight of this holiday will be meeting the great man himself. During your stay you'll go out into the forest searching by snowmobile for Santa. Eyes peeled, as you look out for elves on the way. As you get closer you can see moving lanterns as the elves sneak up through the forest and greet you on your sleigh. They know the secret path to Santa’s cabin and will guide your family along the lantern-lit path straight to his door. As your children knock on his door will they wake him up from his little nap around the fire?
