Itinerary
Arrive in Kittila
Once you’ve landed at Kittila Airport, you’ll be greeted by Santa’s elves who will whisk you off to collect your thermal clothing before taking you to your hotel. The afternoon’s free for you to get a feel for the place.
Taster Sessions
You’ll be heading out on a short husky-sledge ride taster session today, or a snowmobile sleigh ride. If you’d prefer, you can try your hand at making Christmas ornaments. Then you’ve got some free time this afternoon, so you can spend some time in the snow, or book an extra TUI experience – just make sure you book it before you go so you don’t risk missing out. The agenda looks a little different if you’ve booked a three-night trip that starts on a Monday – you’ll be off out for a day of festive fun, and later on you’ll be meeting up with Santa’s Elves, Mrs Claus and Santa Claus himself.
Free Time/Festive Fun/Taster Sessions

Fly Home/Festive Fun/Free Time
For those on a three-night trip, it’s time to head back to the airport today ready for your flight home. Or, if you’re on a four-night trip that starts on a Wednesday, today’s agenda kicks off with festive activities followed by your meeting with Santa and your festive finale. If your trip started on Thursday, you’ve got a day of free time to do as you please. Your festive finale will take place this evening, too – just remember, you’ll need to hand your thermal clothing back in before you head for dinner.
Fly Home
If you’re on a four-night trip, it’s time to pack your things and head back to the airport today ready for your flight home.
