Triple Treat Three Night Santa Trip

This magical three-night Lapland Santa trip is an escorted tour designed to provide an authentic and straightforward arctic experience for the whole family. Departing from Dublin, this holiday takes you deep into the snow-covered landscapes of Kittila, Finland, where travellers of all ages can immerse themselves in the spirit of Christmas. Travel Escapes has carefully organised this itinerary to include all the essential arctic activities, from the excitement of a husky dog ride to the traditional charm of a reindeer sleigh journey through the pine forests.
Upon arrival, you will be provided with high-quality thermal suits and boots, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable throughout your stay. Your base for the trip is the Hotel Saaga in Yllas, a well-regarded three-star property known for its excellent facilities and stunning views of the surrounding slopes. The hotel serves as a perfect retreat after a day of snowmobile adventures and tobogganing. One of the most significant moments of this Lapland Santa trip is the private family meeting with Santa Claus himself. Children will have the opportunity to speak with him in person and receive a small gift, creating a memory that will be cherished for years to come.
In addition to meeting Santa, the itinerary includes a fascinating visit to the Snow Village. This architectural feat is constructed entirely from ice and snow each year, featuring corridors filled with intricate carvings, an ice chapel, and a unique ice bar. Back at the hotel, you will enjoy well-prepared meals, including a special festive dinner. Our expert team at Travel Escapes handles all the logistics, from flights and baggage to transfers and activity scheduling, allowing you to focus entirely on enjoying the wintry surroundings. This trip offers excellent value for money, combining practical inclusions with the genuine magic of a Finnish winter.
