Dates and times
My helpers will not normally pre-arrange any Optional Lapland Adventures for your arrival afternoon or evening, in order to allow you time to settle in, get your bearings and perhaps go tobogganing or explore the resort together, but on subsequent days there is time to enjoy extra activities, as per the guidelines below.
Santa’s Magic 3-day breaks: The Northern Lights Adventure usually takes place on the second evening, and on your final morning you could enjoy one of the other adventures shown on this page (except downhill skiing).
Santa’s Spectacular 4-day breaks: There is ample time on the ‘Adventures Galore’ day for an optional extra adventure both morning and afternoon, and another if you wish on the morning of your last day. The Northern Lights Adventure usually takes place on the evening of your ‘Adventures Galore’ day.
All prices and durations shown include transport to and from wherever you are staying (except downhill skiing). All details regarding exact timings will be confirmed to you on arrival in your resort. Please see Booking Conditions for further important information.
