Encounter description and activities
Encounter combines a sleepy Lappish village with the dramatic landscapes of pristine, snow-clad wilderness. The perfect combination for the festive magic to begin...
A private family visit to Santa's secret cabin...
Some of the locals have reported seeing Santa's sleigh in this area, so each family will head into the woods in search of his secret log cabin. When you find Santa's cabin, it will be with some excitement, that you push open the door to discover Father Christmas himself, who is sure to have time to talk to each of the children individually.
A speedy snowmobile safari
A one and a half hour snowmobile safari will be an experience to remember. Adults will have the chance to drive their own. Kids will be pulled by one of the snowmobiles.
A safari in a sleigh pulled by reindeer
Lapland's most traditional form of transport, the reindeer sleigh ride. All our short breaks include a leisurely ride on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, taking you into the snow-clad surroundings.
A safari pulled by a team of eager huskies...
We will also enjoy the memorable experience of a five-kilometre husky ride through the snow. The eager barking of the dogs as we arrive at the husky farm will indicate that they are ready to give you a swift ride!
Fun in the snow...
On all our short breaks in these snow-clad surroundings, there's plenty of time to enjoy playing in the snow! Take your pick from tobogganing, kick-sledging, kids' snowmobiles and tandem skiing. And of course, there's always a snowball fight...!
A special festive dinner…
There is a festive atmosphere for the gala dinner on the last evening of your stay. You will be served with a special three-course meal.
Full board...
All our short breaks are on a full board basis which means that all your meals are included. Breakfasts and dinner will be taken in your chosen hotel, plus there's the festive dinner on the last night of your stay. Lunches may either be at your hotel or at the location of your day's activities.
