Here, a children's fairy tale combines with adult entertainment: a meeting with a mischievous Santa, riding on sporty snowmobiles, reindeer, and huskies, skiing or snowboarding above the Arctic Circle.

CONSULTATION
Day 1

We arrive in Santa's homeland – the city of Rovaniemi. We rent cars and head to our hotel, which is located right on the slope of the ski resort!

We will have cozy and modern rooms with accommodation for 2 people in a room. Depending on your group, you can choose a room for 2, 4, or 8 people.

After check-in, we relax and get to know each other over a glass of wine.

Day 2

We have breakfast and head out to meet Santa.

In 1985, he decided to open his office in Rovaniemi, and since 2010, the city has received official status as Santa's hometown. Here we will be able to send postcards to our loved ones with a special Arctic stamp that cannot be purchased anywhere else. We will also have time to "step over" the Arctic Circle, go snow tubing, have a cocktail in a snow bar, soak in the New Year atmosphere, and take many photos.

Closer to the evening, we return to the hotel to prepare for the New Year's Eve celebration. First, we will gather at the festive table in our hotel's restaurant, where we can taste traditional Lapland cuisine, and then we will move to the lobby of our hotel or to our cozy penthouse (depending on accommodation), where we can continue celebrating until the early morning. A festive fireworks display awaits us at midnight.

Day 3

This day has been decided to be free of any mandatory activities. So that you can leisurely enjoy the beauty of the polar nature and, if you wish, go snowboarding or skiing right from the hotel.

For those who prefer a more passive rest and in case the temperature drops to -40 (which is not uncommon for this area), we have a sauna in our hotel, and you can also gather with friends in the lobby of our hotel, play games, and continue celebrating the New Year.

Day 4

Today our group is splitting into two subgroups. The first will head to the reindeer farm by car to get acquainted with their way of life and definitely ride on sleds, while the second will embark on a journey through the snowy forest on snowmobiles.

In the evening, we warm up in the sauna and share our emotions and impressions in the lobby of our cozy hotel.

Day 5

Today the subgroups are switching places. The first subgroup is riding snowmobiles through the fairy-tale Lapland forest, while the second is heading to a reindeer farm.

Day 6

Today we have our last full day in Arctic paradise, which we will spend skiing and snowboarding down the slopes. And in the evening we will gather at a local restaurant for a farewell dinner.

Day 7

We have breakfast and check out of the hotel. Today we are returning to Rovaniemi, returning the car, and flying home.
