Karesuando is a unique village split in two by the Muonio River, which  also creates a natural border between Finland and Sweden. Half the village lies in Finland and the other half in Sweden and with a short stroll from your hotel you can cross the border into Sweden – and another time zone!

Day 1 
Upon landing at Enontekio Airport in the far north of Finnish Lapland you will be directed to your coach for the approximately 55 minute transfer to Karesuando, your base for the duration of your trip. The scenic route takes you through ancient Sami lands of forests and frozen lakes, a picture-perfect journey with the chance of seeing herds of reindeer gathered by the trees. 
You will collect your thermal suits and boots that will be your protection against the Arctic climate along the way before continuing to your accommodation. Once you have checked into your hotel and settled into your room, there will be a short welcome meeting hosted by your holiday representative who will give you all the information you need for your Lapland break. 

Day 2 
After a hearty breakfast you will start the day with your first activity – your snowmobile safari. This is an adventure loved by adults and children alike and you will be transported to the activity area by minibus to start your adventure. Your thrilling snowmobile expedition will take you along a predetermined route through the forest and snowy countryside driving at a speed that is comfortable for you. Children are pulled in a sleigh behind the guide’s snowmobile. 
A tasty hot lunch will warm you up before you take to the snow again for the real reason behind your journey to Lapland – it’s time to search for Santa. Cosily tucked into your reindeer sleigh you will meander across the frozen land and through the towering pine trees to Santa’s top secret location – perhaps only special reindeer know the way to his cabin?
Your private meeting will see each child getting a chance to talk to Santa and he will have a small gift for every child.

Day 3
After a hearty breakfast, it will be time to check out of your room before heading into the snow for your Husky Experience. There will also be time to add in an optional excursion if you wish, or just to spend time enjoying some tobogganing, building a snowman and throwing some snowballs. Following lunch at the hotel it will be time to board the coach for your transfer to the airport and wave goodbye to this beautiful place.
The 3- and 4-night options of this break contain identical activities but allow more free time. The length of the trip is dependent on the date/departure.
