Escapade takes you into a magical realm of northern Lapland, one of the few homes of genuine Sami people, from ancient nomadic families. It is not surprising that Santa has chosen so ancient and historic a wilderness setting for his secret cabin hideaway. When we are lucky enough to discover his whereabouts, each family will have the chance to visit him in his cabin individually. What's more, the Escapade day break has some of the most substantial rides of any Lapland day breaks currently available.
A day to remember…
We fly to Enontekio airport, from where this magical day takes you deep within the winter landscape to a location more northerly than any of our other Lapland destinations. Our all-inclusive price includes the protective warmth of a thermal suit and boots but please remember to bring additional scarves, hat and gloves.
Exciting activities in the snow-clad wilderness…
Having been transported into the heart of the Lappish wilderness, you will be able to take your pick from a wide range of activities. Enjoy the exhilaration of a ten to fifteen minute sled ride behind an eager team of huskies and a calmer reindeer sleigh ride of about 7 minutes. The day break also includes a snowmobile ride where adults get the chance to drive themselves (children pulled in a sleigh).
Snowmen, snowballs and snow games…
As well as these activities, there will be time to play in the snow, giving children (and quite often their parents!) the chance to make snow angels, build snowmen, enjoy tobogganing, kick sledging and other snow games. A warming two-course lunch is also included.
In search of Father Christmas…
And the highlight of the day as we venture into the snow-clad woods in search of the hidden log cabin where Santa is thought to stay at this time of year. Each family will be able to enjoy a private visit to Santa, who, we are sure, will find the time to talk to each child individually.
