Santa's Magical Experience Yllas

Day 1
On arrival at Kittilä Airport your trip representative will be there to greet you and direct you to your coach for the transfer to Ylläs. Once you have settled into your accommodation you can explore the local surroundings and try out the magnificent snow. A short welcome meeting will take place to discuss the itinerary, ask any questions you might have and to help you plan your activities for the next few days.

Day 2 
Today you will visit Santa’s Elves Hideaway where you will enjoy a private family meeting with Santa and will take part in some festive fun and games. Here you can help the elves make gingerbread or even cook sausages on an open fire. You may want to try your hand at making a Christmas decoration at Elf School. Comet the reindeer is a regular visitor to the hideaway so you might just find him outside waiting to say hello. There will also be a supply of toboggans for some snow fun!

Day 3 
Make the most of your stay in Ylläs by arranging exciting optional excursions such as the combined husky and reindeer farm visit or an exhilarating family-friendly snowmobile safari? Alternatively, enjoy a leisurely wander around the local shops collecting souvenirs or relax and enjoy a sauna at your accommodation.

Day 4 
Day four is another free day to do what you want to do followed by a Festive Feast, party games and a disco, the perfect way to spend your final evening in Lapland.

Day 5 
As your time in Lapland draws to a close you will have some time after breakfast to have a last minute stroll around Ylläs or have one last play in the snow before it’s time to say goodbye to your new friends and board your coach to the airport for your flight home.
