Kittilä: A True Arctic Wilderness Escape
Discover the soul of Lapland in the wilderness surrounding Kittilä, where the resorts of Äkäslompolo, Levi, and Ylläs offer a truly authentic escape. For children, this is a land of frozen mysteries, where husky sledges glide through silent forests to find Santa’s secret hideaway. Parents can relax knowing our programmes are meticulously organised, featuring everything from direct flights from Ireland to high-quality thermal suits to keep everyone snug. The serene beauty of the fells and the comfort of our hand-picked accommodation provide a peaceful retreat to watch the family’s magical memories unfold in the world’s most enchanting winter landscape.
Rovaniemi: The Magic of Santa’s Home
For many, a trip to the Arctic is only complete with a visit to Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus. This is the ultimate ‘bucket list’ destination for children, who can cross the Arctic Circle and receive a personal audience with the man in red himself. We take the stress out of the journey for parents, providing a seamless 2 or 3-night experience with every detail handled by our expert team. Grandparents will appreciate the accessibility of Rovaniemi town, where festive shops, local culture, and the magic of the Santa Claus Village are all within easy reach, making it the perfect base for a comfortable multi-generational holiday
Kuusamo & Ruka: Traditional Magic
Ruka Village, accessed via Kuusamo, offers a boutique ‘Alpine-style’ experience that feels like stepping into a Christmas card. Its compact, pedestrian-friendly layout is a dream for parents, allowing for a stress-free transition between festive activities and warm cocoa breaks. Children will find wonder in the private reindeer encounters and snowy slopes, while grandparents will love the village’s intimate feel and the ease of moving between our luxury accommodation and the heart of the festive action. It is a traditional, high-end Arctic experience where the magic is always just a few steps away
