Fly after Christmas for a special festive interlude. Enjoy the comforts of the Davvi Arctic Lodge over the Christmas holidays.

If you don’t have time for a short break in Santa’s kingdom before Christmas, why not visit him over the Christmas holidays? Now you can escape those dreary turkey leftovers by flying off after Boxing Day to the comforts of the Davvi Arctic Lodge. Santa himself is feeling a little tired now, after delivering presents to boys and girls everywhere. But he is always delighted to have visitors to his hideaway cabin, hidden deep inside the snow-draped forest, and if you manage to find him, he will be happy to put aside his holiday brochures for a festive season chat.
Setting off after Boxing Day is just the beginning of your short break with Transun.

There is so much included. From a Husky Experience to a Search for Santa, from a snowmobile Adventure to a Festive Dinner, your three-night break is filled with magical experiences. Here is a typical itinerary.

After a festive fl ight, you land in Enontekiö in Finland and are guided to your coach. The one-hour journey takes you through the heart of the Sámi lands. Watch out for reindeer in the woods! We stop to collect your all-in-one thermal suits and boots. After checking in at the Davvi Arctic Lodge, your Transun rep hosts a welcome meeting and will answer any further questions during a welcome dinner.

􀂻 Can anyone drive a snowmobile?
Driving a snowmobile in Finland is like driving a car, similar laws apply. A full driving licence is required. Please ensure you bring your driving licence with you. A damage waiver must be signed before commencing the activity. Credit card copies are taken and a 550 euros excess is payable for any damage, irrespective of severity. Normal traffic laws apply on snowmobile routes. Safety helmets must be worn at all times. (Please note this is not a defi nitive list of instructions and liabilities, further information is available upon request, and will be provided at resort.) As a general rule, all children 15 and under will travel in a sleigh pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. Children 12-plus can ride as a passenger behind a responsible parent/adult, however
this is physically demanding and therefore they will be assessed by the local guide on the day and it is at the guide’s discretion, their decision being final.

􀂻 Are the kids' snowmobiles safe?
We have a miniature snowmobile ride for children. Depending on their size they are normally suitable for 4 to 10 year-olds. As it is a motorised vehicle, the ride is supervised so only available at specified times Snowmobiles are driven around a small circuit, attached to a rope. Children will have a minimum of five laps.
