Enjoy a fun filled break to Lapland. Get off the beaten track and experience what the Finnish wonderland has to offer, with a husky safari, reindeer farm visit and a meeting with Santa Claus!

Your trip begins with a transfer from Rovaniemi Airport to your lakeside suite in Pyhä, where you’ll be warmly welcomed by your hosts. Nestled on the shores of a frozen lake, this charming, family-run hotel offers a peaceful retreat with traditional Finnish touches, including a lakeside sauna and outdoor hot tub – ideal for relaxing under the Arctic sky.

Set against a backdrop of silent forests and snow-covered hills, this tranquil base offers a true taste of Lapland, just a short drive from Luosto. It’s the perfect setting for a family adventure that blends magical moments with authentic experiences.

One of the highlights of your trip begins with a visit to a local husky farm. Meet the friendly dogs, learn how they’re trained, then take off on a thrilling husky safari through the snow-covered wilderness, gliding across frozen lakes and forest trails. From here, your adventure continues as you climb into a sleigh pulled by snowmobile and travel along a lantern-lit trail deep into the forest, where Santa Claus is waiting in his private, festively decorated hut.

This is a personal and magical moment for your family, far from the crowds – and children will receive a special toy as a gift to remember the occasion.

You’ll also visit a reindeer farm during your stay, where you’ll meet the reindeer up close and learn about Sámi culture and traditional herding life. Wrapped in warm blankets, enjoy a peaceful sleigh ride through the forest, soaking up the stillness and snowy beauty all around.

Experience an exciting adventure riding a snowmobile through the snow covered forest. This experience brings together Lapland’s most iconic winter adventures – all in one enchanting, family-focused escape.

Unforgettable experiences – these memories of your Christmas holiday in Lapland will last forever!

*Price per person based on 2 adults plus 2 children travelling from 23rd March – 27th April, staying in a Family Suite (subject to availability).

Husky Safari & Santa Visit

After breakfast, wrap up warm and head out to a traditional husky farm nestled deep in the Lappish wilderness. You’ll meet your team of eager huskies before setting off on a thrilling safari through the snow-covered forest trails. Glide through pristine landscapes, taking turns to mush and ride as you follow the guide’s lead in this unforgettable Arctic experience.

After the husky safari, your adventure continues as you’re whisked away by snowmobile-pulled sleigh, winding through the silent woods towards a hidden forest hut aglow with festive lights. There, waiting beside the crackling fire, is Santa Claus himself – ready for a completely private family meeting in his cosy cabin.

Children will enjoy a warm, personal meeting with Santa, who will present them with a small toy to remember the magical moment. The experience is relaxed, enchanting, and set in a beautifully decorated forest hideaway. After your meeting with Santa, return by sleigh through the snowy trees to complete this unforgettable day.

Dinner will be served in the resort’s restaurant this evening, where you can share stories from your Arctic adventures around a hearty, warming meal.

After breakfast, journey into the snowy forest to meet the reindeer herders and their gentle animals, learning about the deep connection between the Sámi people and these iconic creatures of the north.

You’ll then climb into a sleigh for a peaceful ride through the quiet, snow-blanketed forest. Let the soft jingle of reindeer bells and the swish of the sleigh runners be your soundtrack as you glide across the winter landscape, wrapped in blankets and surrounded by nature.

Warm drinks will be served by an open fire, and there’ll be time to ask questions, take photos, and soak up the unique atmosphere of this traditional Lappish experience. You will then return to the hotel where you will have dinner and have some time to relax by the fire or perhaps take a  sauna.
