Winter Wonderland Lapland Day Trip

With Christmas on the horizon, why not make precious memories with your children and get in the festive mood with a fun-filled day in Finnish Lapland? These magical one-day Winter Wonderland trips run throughout December until Christmas Eve, with convenient departures from regional airports throughout the UK - from as far north as Aberdeen to as far south as Exeter - making it easier for you to spend a day in Santa’s kingdom and still be home in time for your supper! 

From the moment the early morning alarm clock rings, there's great anticipation in the air: a trip to Lapland to visit the REAL Father Christmas is a unique day after all! After descending from the clouds and witnessing the sprawling snow-capped vastness of Lapland below, the excitement continues to build. Upon arrival in Lapland, you’ll be taken to collect your all-in-one thermal snow suits and winter boots – essential to keep warm in the Arctic climate, where temperatures can drop to a chilly -40C! 

Each Winter Wonderland day trip takes you and your family to a magical location, close to a vast snow-covered wilderness, and unspoiled by mass-market tourism or crowds of Santa pilgrims. It’s an outdoors day, filled with Lapland’s favourite activities - snowmobiling, husky sledding, and reindeer sleigh rides - which take place around a frozen river or a frozen lake. A warming lunch is included and provides much-needed energy for your fun-packed adventures in the snow!

Excitement reaches fever pitch for children and parents alike as you venture in search of Santa’s hideaway cabin - the ultimate highlight of your one-day trip. Don’t forget to bring a letter, he’d love to know what’s on your Christmas wish list! There'll also be plenty of time to pack in a friendly snowball fight and create perfect snow angels, before travelling through the pristine snow by an engine-propelled snowmobile, a sleigh led by Santa's favourite reindeer, or a sled pulled by an eager team of huskies!
