Santa Trips
This beautiful and magical place creates an atmosphere for Christmas that only dreams are made of. Santa Claus can be found at the newly opened ‘Lap village’ in Akaslompolo, where you can see Reindeer, enjoy a Lappish meal and buy handicrafts. For the young one’s Santa will personally visit your cabin on a sleigh pulled by one of his Reindeer.
