Meet Santa and seek the NORTHERN LIGHTS in SWEDISH LAPLAND
Escape to a winter wonderland on this festive four-day trip just below the Arctic Circle
Lapland is Europe’s last area of extensive wilderness, with its vast pine and spruce forests that look magical covered in snow. It’s also where Santa lives and it has ideal conditions for seeing the Northern Lights.
On your four-day Christmas adventure, which is perfect for taking grandchildren on or for an intergenerational festive break, you can take part in experiences, including meeting Santa and the reindeer.
You will stay at the Grand Arctic Resort, on the banks of the frozen river in Överkalix. From here, you can explore the snow- and ice-covered landscape, keeping an eye on the sky for the Northern Lights.
With plenty of included activities, you can fill your time as you choose, whether that’s icing gingerbread or, for the more adventurous, husky sledding.
MEET SANTA AND THE REINDEER
Your Arctic experience wouldn’t be complete without sharing your Christmas list with the man in red. Head to his cabin for a chat. You’ll also meet local friendly reindeer and their indigenous Sami herder, who’ll tell you about Sami life.
SEEK THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
Seeing the aurora borealis is an unforgettable experience, and travelling with Arctic experts Discover the World maximises your chances of spotting them.
INTIMATE RESORT
Surrounded by magical Arctic nature, Grand Arctic Resort offers spacious en-suite rooms, some with balconies, and two-bedroom Aurora Cabins. There’s an indoor Jacuzzi, a lounge and bar, two saunas and a lavvu, where the whole family can enjoy Christmas crafts.
UNFORGETTABLE TRIP
You’ll create plenty of memories on this trip. There will be the chance to see eye-catching vistas on gentle excursions and you will return fully recuperated after four days of fresh Arctic air.
