Fun Facts About Lapland Lapland is considered one of the most beautiful regions in Finland. It has been the subject of many children’s books, movies, and songs for decades. At Santa’s Lapland, we bring this magical place that exists in these books to life. The land of mystical reindeer, Santa, and his cheeky elves. What more could you want in the world of Christmas? Let’s not forget the enchanting pine forests, frozen lakes, and streams. This magical wonderland has inspired many generations of families the world over to visit in search of that perfect Christmas spirit. Join us in this other-worldly location, deep in the arctic wilderness, where a once-in-a-lifetime experience awaits.

WHERE IS ENONTEKIÖ? Enontekiö is the ultimate destination for adventurers craving purity in nature and the authentic Arctic experience. In this land of wide open spaces, where three Nordic countries meet, reindeer and man alike roam free. Visitors here can experience the Northern Lights and traditional Lapland culture. This is true Lapland, the pure Arctic, where Finland‘s only mountains rise in the distant horizon to welcome you to explore on snowshoe, ski, husky sled or snowmobile. A land shaped by time, waters and paths that wind through the wilderness. A horizon larger than life, calling to adventure. A resilient homeland that thrives in the Arctic. Here, you’re free to embrace the elements and true Lapland. EXPERIENCE SÁMI CULTURE Explore the ancient sounds, traditional handicrafts, and long-standing reindeer culture of Enontekiö on your trip to Lapland. Sámis are Finland’s and Europe’s only recognised indigenous people. SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS When the skies are clear, you can see the northern lights on three out of four nights in Enontekiö. Wear warm clothes, bring a thermos and be prepared for the light show of your life! LAPLAND IS HUGE! Lapland covers a lot of ground. It’s a region, not a country. In fact, it makes up about one-third of Finland’s total area! Lapland stretches from the Arctic Circle in the north to the borders of Norway and Sweden and from east to west all the way down to Finland. It’s huge! DAYLIGHT HOURS Daylight is as rare as catching a glimpse of Rudoph’s nose lighting up the sky (keep an eye out, you might just get lucky). You can expect to only get about 2 hours of low level sun, making its entrance at around 11am, and setting by 2pm, leaving behind a mystical aura of pink and yellow hues in the sky. It’s true that in Lapland, magic is in the air, as well as in its night sky. Just don’t forget to look up - you won’t want to miss Santa’s magical glow trail. THERE’S MORE REINDEER THAN HUMANS IN LAPLAND Lapland is the land of reindeer. The human population is tiny, with just over 200,000 reindeer compared to 178k humans. The ratio makes it a little easier to spot one of those antlers in the wild! FINNISH IS THE MAIN LANGUAGE SPOKEN Finland is the land of snow, but it’s also a land of languages. Finnish is the main language with some people also speaking the Sámi languages.

LAPLAND AND LONDON CHRISTMAS ESCAPE 2024

Finnish is spoken by around 5 million people, mainly in the western part of the country.

Sámi is a minority language that is spoken by around 2,000 people living in the North of Finland.

LEARN SOME FINNISH PHRASES! The letter Y is pronounced as a U. The letter J, pronounce as a Y. Where there are the same two letters in a row, emphasise the sound.

Hyvää Huomenta - Good Morning Hyvää Iltaa - Good Evening Hei! / Moi! / Morjens! - Hi! / Hello! Moikka! / Hei Hei! - Bye Mitä Kuuluu - How are you? Kiitos, Hyvää - Good thanks Anteeksi - Excuse me

Kiitos - Thank You Ole Hyvä - You are Welcome Kippis - Cheers Kyllä - Yes Ei - No Saisinko yhden oluen? - Can I have a beer please? (A vital one to learn).

Frequently Asked Questions About Lapland WHAT DO WE DO WITH OUR BELONGINGS ON A DAY BREAK? When you collect your thermal suits and boots, you will be given a bag in which you can store your outdoor coats and shoes that you have travelled in. There are no changing facilities available so it is advisable to travel in your base layers. Please ensure you take anything with you that you may require during the day, plus your valuables such as money and passports as there is no secure storage. You will collect your bag at the end of the day when you change out of your thermal suits

WILL WE GET TO ‘MUSH’ OUR OWN HUSKY DOGS? Passengers travelling on a day break will travel in a sleigh pulled by dog teams. On the short breaks, guests over 18 years may have the opportunity to ‘mush’ their own sleds; this is dependent on trail and weather conditions. All participants on our husky excursions will be required to sign a Husky Waiver; parents or guardians will sign on behalf of any children under the age of 18. (Please note this is not a definitive list of instructions and liabilities, further information is available upon request, and will be provided at resort). CAN ANYONE DRIVE A SNOWMOBILE? On each of our excursions, there will be two passengers per snowmobile, swapping halfway. Driving a snowmobile in Finland is like driving a car, and similar laws apply. A full valid driving licence is required - please ensure you bring this with you as it must be presented in resort. A damage waiver must be signed before commencing the activity. Credit card copies are taken and a €980 excess is payable for any damage, irrespective of severity, prior to departure from resort. Normal traffic laws apply on snowmobile routes. Safety helmets must be worn at all times. All children 15 and under will travel in a sleigh pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. Children 15 and over can ride as a passenger behind a responsible parent/adult, however this is at the guide’s discretion, their decision being final. Parents or guardians will be required to sign the damage waiver on behalf of any children under the age of 18. (Please note this is not a definitive list of instructions and liabilities, further information is available upon request, and will be provided in resort). WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM ON THE FLIGHT DEPARTING FROM LAPLAND? Should it not be possible to return home from the destination on the programmed evening departure due to reasons beyond our control, the supplier will make every effort to accommodate passengers overnight in accommodation of a reasonable standard. The company’s liability will then cease and no compensation will be paid. ARE THE TOURS SUITABLE FOR INFANTS? Due to the extreme weather conditions in Lapland, we generally don’t recommend our tours for infants under the age of two since a great deal of time will be spent outdoors in Arctic conditions. If you choose to travel with an infant you may have to miss out on some activities if advised by the staff in resort. In addition, we are unable to guarantee provision of thermal suits and boots for infants so these will need to be provided by you. Please also note that there are no baby changing facilities at any of our locations. IS THE TRIP SUITABLE FOR DISABLED, PREGNANT OR ELDERLY VISITORS? It is imperative that you ask prior to booking. We cannot provide any special assistance or care and we cannot guarantee specially-made vehicles. In addition, we do not generally recommend our trips in the Arctic Circle for wheelchair users given that we operate in very remote, wilderness locations where snow can be up to four feet deep and paths are not always cleared, making the terrain difficult to traverse. Plus, not all of the activities would be accessible as some require travelling through to the snow to get to. With regards to those who are pregnant, our snowmobile and husky safaris would not be suitable due to the vibrations of uneven tracks and the exhaust fumes of the snowmobiles, and you should always consult a doctor before travelling.

ARE THERE TOILET FACILITIES? Due to the natural environment, toilet facilities may not be widely available but temporary or wilderness toilets will be on hand at activity points. However, we recommend that guests use the facilities when they are available. CAN OUR GROUP SEE SANTA AT THE SAME TIME? Santa’s log cabin can fit a maximum of seven people in the cabin at any one time. Please be advised that if your group is larger than this, you may need to split up into smaller groups. If you book your holiday with other families but wish to visit Santa in smaller groups, this must be communicated to us at the time of booking or at least two weeks prior to departure. It will not be possible to arrange upon arrival to resort. WHAT CLOTHES SHOULD WE TAKE? Temperatures can reach as low as -40˚C. It is the responsibility of the guest to bring adequate clothing for this weather. Our largest suit size is a 48” chest or approx. size 20 (women’s UK sizing); our smallest suit size is 34” in height. Our largest shoe size is 12 (UK); our smallest shoe size is 8 (UK child). Should a guest be outside the range of this sizing, they will need to purchase their own winter gear for use in Lapland. Thermal suits and boots should be worn at all times when outdoors in Lapland. Should a guest bring their own thermal suits and boots, the responsibility lies with guest to ensure they are suitable for Arctic conditions.

LAPLAND AND LONDON CHRISTMAS ESCAPE 2024

CAN DIETARY REQUIREMENTS BE CATERED FOR? Any dietary requirements must be advised at the time of booking; we will pass this request onto the airline and accommodation where applicable, who will endeavour to fulfil your requirements. However, given the remoteness of the locations, this cannot be guaranteed and it is recommended that any passengers with a special request carry some supplies of foodstuffs with them.
