With various packages available, Santa’s Lapland offer private meetings with the real Santa Claus, a snowmobile Santa search, Reindeer sleigh-ride, husky sled-ride and plenty of icy fun and frolics with the resident Saari Elves.
Although Lapland seems frigidly close to the Arctic Circle, it actually experiences warmer temperatures than Alaska, or Greenland thanks to the warming Gulf Stream. Lapland covers 30% of Finland’s land area, yet contains just 4% of the population. The semi-nomadic Sami people heard their approximately 200,000 herd of reindeer across the land. Vacationers can even experience wonderful views of the northern lights.
