Christmas In Harriniva

DAY 1 

Depart Heathrow at 10.20 on Finnair scheduled flight(s) via Helsinki to Kittila. Arrive 17.40 local time and transfer to Muonio. Check-in to your room where your thermal clothing will be available. Buffet supper.

CHRISTMAS EVE 

After breakfast walk to the dog kennels to begin your husky mushing adventure: your team will bark excitedly before you set off only to fall instantly silent as they pull you through the forest with the only sound being that of the sled’s runners slicing through the snow (17km 3hrs). Lunch back at the hotel after which children help search for the perfect Christmas tree which they can then decorate and bake cookies with the elves. Traditional Christmas dinner culminating in a visit by Father Christmas who will have a small present for everyone. 

CHRISTMAS DAY 

After breakfast set off on a family snowmobile safari along snow clad forest trails (50 km 3½ hrs). Stop midway for a warming berry juice by an open fire and then return to the hotel for late lunch. Afternoon at leisure. Buffet supper.

BOXING DAY 

Morning at leisure with kick sleds, toboggans, snow shoes and ice fishing lines all available by the side of the hotel in what amounts to a giant playground made from snow. Lunch in the hotel after which there is an optional horse drawn sleigh ride through the forest following a winding trail through snow clad pines. Buffet supper.

DAY 5 

After breakfast, time for the children to have one last play in the snow before your transfer to Kittila airport for Finnair scheduled flight(s) to Heathrow where you land at 17.10 local time.
