Lapping it up in a winter wonderland

Post Thumbnail

A day trip in Lapland has been available from Aberdeen airport and is once again departing this December.

Imagine spending the day in Santa’s kingdom with a morning flight from Aberdeen and still being home in time for supper!

We decided to take a look at what you might discover if you were tempted to visit.

Flying into Enontekio airport, you are taken to a magical location in the far north of Finnish Lapland, close to a vast snow-covered wilderness and a million miles from other overcrowded and over commercialised Lapland destinations.

Typically, Lapland is seen as a destination to just visit Santa, however, there is far more to do in Lapland than simply indulging the children with handing over their festive wish-list. You might just be be surprised at what else can be squeezed into a single day trip.

Exciting snow activities

Couple Snowmobiling

A fun packed day includes great winter activities, to ensure there is fun for all of the party. Highlights include: a snowmobile trip, husky sled journey and a reindeer sleigh ride. If you think this might leave you feeling cold, don’t panic, all thermal clothing is also supplied as part of the day.

After all of that, a two-course buffet lunch is served to help refuel the body.

Search for Santa

The highlight of the day arrives when you venture into the snow-clad surroundings in the hope of finding the hidden log cabin where Santa sometimes stays at this time of the year.

After a magical journey across a frozen river, each family will enjoy a private visit with Santa, who will find the time to talk to each child about their Christmas wishes.

The Day Trip

The Lapland Winter Wonderland Day Trip is available flying from Aberdeen on 10 December – priced at £489 per adult. Half price child places are also available, please call for details.
