Edinburgh

Santa's Homeland Direct from Auld Reekie

Depart from Edinburgh this winter on an exciting daybreak to Lapland. Leaving Scotland early in the morning, the three-hour flight takes you high into the Arctic Circle. Deep in True Lapland, the snow-clad forests and frozen lakes will seem like a different world. Drive snowmobiles, mush husky sleds, and ride reindeer sleighs through the picture-perfect landscape. Of course, no visit to Lapland would be complete without a visit to see Father Christmas – you’ve travelled a long way to see him! Returning to Edinburgh later that evening, you’ll be filled with memories to last a lifetime! (See our Winter Wonderland tour for more details).
