Lapland 3 Day Tour

Capture the true spirit of Christmas at the scenic resort of Luosto, the perfect setting for your amazing Lapland holiday. While a shorter and perhaps more condensed break, this tour provides the perfect opportunity to experience the same magical ingredients as those of a longer duration. Enjoy reindeer & husky sleigh rides and exciting trips by snowmobile through beautiful snow-covered forests and plains as we seek the great man. Where shall we find him? Will the scouts and elves be there to guide us? Of course they will and even though Santa has been a very busy man, supervising the dispatch of toys in time for Christmas Day; he will be thrilled to meet all the children who have made this very special journey to see him and to present them with a gift in person.

Set on the edge of the National Park, which is renowned for its natural beauty, the magnificent ski resort of Luosto provides the dramatic backdrop for your holiday to Lapland. Situated above the Arctic Circle; just 90 minutes from north of Rovaniemi, it is hard to imagine anywhere more beautiful or unspoilt than Finnish Lapland. And it is here where we can see why Santa has chosen Lapland as his homeland… a magical place, surrounded by lush pine, spruce and larch forests.
