Your Private Meeting with Santa
But where does Santa Claus live?
In one of the World’s truly magical places ……

A place where the snow lies deep and crisp and even, reflecting the shimmering wonders of the Northern Lights. Where anything seems possible, and childhood dreams become reality.

Meeting Santa Claus in his own Lapland home is every child’s dream (and many an adult’s too!). He has kindly offered to take a break from his busy December preparations to spend a few minutes privately with each Esprit family in his hideaway log-cabin home - a special, secret place, which his cheeky elves and friendly helpers will help you find!

And there are plenty more adventures to enjoy along the way to finally meeting Santa Claus, from snow sculptures and tobogganing, to reindeer sleigh-rides and husky-sledding!

Calling All Children - Write a letter to Santa!

With your tickets for the aeroplane, we will send you some special Lapland paper for you to write your very own letter to Santa Claus.

Tell him if you have been good this year and what you’d like for Christmas, so that he can talk to you about your wishes when you meet him at his home in Lapland.

Meet Santa’s Helpers!

In Rovaniemi the famous Rovi branch of the elf kingdom are recognisable by their big noses and pointy ears, and have been helping Santa Claus for hundreds of years with all his many preparations for Christmas. Santa’s Big Christmas List is held in huge books, which are updated all the time as letters to Santa fly in from all over the world. Come and see the Rovi Elves in action at the Santa Control Centre, before heading off to search for Santa himself!

Saariselkä is home to Santa’s tribe of Saari Elves, a hardy outdoor bunch, renowned for their lively energetic personalities, and whose ears and noses don’t grow so long as their cousins in Rovaniemi, due to the time they spend outdoors, playing in the snow, rather than concentrating on toy-making in one of Santa’s busy workshops further south.

Action-packed fun and laughter!

You’ll meet the friendly local Sami people too on most of our trips, and enjoy traditional Lapp cuisine, plus further options of course for younger and simpler tastes.

Our day-trips and short breaks provide action-packed, fun-filled days for children, parents and grandparents alike to enjoy, creating family memories that will last a lifetime.

Our choice of resorts offers you a contrast of styles; Rovaniemi is the larger resort, with a lively centre and a wide range of shops, whilst Saariselkä, Lapland’s most northerly resort, is smaller but full of friendly charm, and set amidst magical wilderness scenery.

So join us this year for a wonderful Christmas break, full of excitement and adventure, in the magical surroundings of Santa’s Lapland.
