Christmas in Aurora Village, Finland
- BREAKFAST & DINNER
Get ready for a White Christmas in a cozy, family run glass igloo resort near Ivalo, Finland. Your glass igloo is set alone in the woods - you can gaze up at the Arctic stars and hopefully the Northern Lights will dance above you.
As well as snowmobiling, reindeer sledding and husky safaris, activities like the free use of cross-country skis, ice-skates, toboggans, snowshoes and campfires keep the days full. In the evening, sit back with other guests in the cozy Kota restaurant and share the day's tales.
Santa program for both departures. This program includes being seated in a snowmobile towed sleigh with fur covers for a ten-minute ride through the forest to a cabin in a secret location. You are dropped by the door of the cabin and meet Santa inside for approximately 5-10 minutes with a small gift from Santa (30-40 minutes in total).
