Magical Itinerary in Salla, Finnish Lapland
Day 1 – Journey to the Land of White Silence Your unforgettable adventure begins at Madrid airport. After the check-in process and warm welcome by the Catai team, we board a direct flight to Rovaniemi, the heart of Finnish Lapland. Upon arrival, a timeless snow-covered landscape greets us. We continue with a transfer to Salla, a natural treasure just two hours away, nestled in one of Europe’s most pristine environments. Once there, we collect our thermal suits for the entire stay and settle into our cozy wooden cabins. The day ends with a delicious dinner at the Salla Tuvat complex. Let the magic begin.
Day 2 – Reindeer and ancient traditions After a buffet breakfast, we visit a nearby reindeer farm to meet their caretakers and discover the centuries-old traditions of the Lappish people. We’ll ride in a sleigh pulled by these noble creatures and visit the corral of pregnant females, where we can also help feed them. Lunch is served in a traditional kota, a Sami tipi, around a warm fire, where stories and smiles are shared. The afternoon is free to enjoy the snow, relax in your cabin, or try some skiing. Later, we gather for a special Christmas Eve dinner. A truly heartwarming day.
Day 3 – Optional excursion to Oulanka National Park After breakfast, you may choose to join an optional excursion (at an extra cost) to the spectacular Oulanka National Park, known for its frozen waterfalls and Myllykoski rapids. Led by an expert guide, you’ll explore the local flora and fauna that survive in extreme Arctic conditions. We’ll enjoy a picnic-style lunch at a wilderness camp. In the evening, we return to the complex for a buffet dinner. Overnight stay.
Day 4 – Epic day: huskies, snowshoes, ice fishing and Santa Claus One of the most thrilling days begins after breakfast. We head out to drive husky sleds like real mushers across snow-covered trails. Later, we gather around a campfire for an open-air lunch in untouched nature. The adventure continues with a snowshoe walk to a frozen lake where we’ll try traditional ice fishing. And then comes the highlight: a private visit with the real Santa Claus, organized by #SantaClausinLapland, our agency specialized in magical Lapland experiences. Each family will be guided to his secret forest cabin for a personal meeting and gift for each child. Evening buffet and overnight at the complex.
Day 5 – Snowmobiles, kids’ mini-rides and spa time After a hearty breakfast, we gear up for a snowmobile safari through forests and over frozen lakes. At the top of a hill, we’ll pause for a hot drink and breathtaking views. After lunch, the little ones enjoy their own snowmobile mini-track and receive a symbolic driver’s license. Later, we unwind in the hotel’s spa with jacuzzis, saunas, and heated pools designed for families. Dinner buffet and overnight stay.
Day 6 – Farewell with Finnish spirit On our final day, after breakfast, there’s time for one last walk or a traditional Finnish sauna session. Did you know there are more saunas than cars in Finland? For the locals, it’s a daily ritual. Transfer to Rovaniemi airport, check-in, and direct flight back to Madrid. A light snack is served onboard. The end of a journey that’s not only lived — but deeply felt.
A Journey You Feel with Your Soul and Remember Forever This wasn’t just a trip to the snow — it was a deeply moving adventure in the heart of Finnish Lapland, in the untouched and magical region of Salla. Day by day, each activity wove unforgettable memories: mushing your own husky sled through snowy trails, gently feeding reindeer under the Arctic twilight, and embracing the peaceful silence of the forest with snowshoes on your feet. We’ve felt the thrill of snowmobiling through postcard-perfect landscapes, tried ice fishing on a frozen lake, and relaxed in a cozy Nordic spa with saunas and jacuzzis surrounded by snow. But without a doubt, the most magical moment was the long-awaited meeting with Santa Claus in his secret forest cabin. A heartwarming, private experience that touches children and adults alike, made possible by #SantaClausinLapland, our agency specialized in unforgettable family trips to Lapland. This family holiday in Lapland is designed for those who seek more than just a vacation — it’s a meaningful experience to reconnect, slow down, and live the true spirit of Christmas together. With traditional wooden cabin accommodation, family-friendly activities, and a pace that invites you to breathe, this journey becomes a story to tell and a treasure to remember. It’s the ideal choice for those looking for well-organized family holidays, where magic, nature, and connection come together. Because in the end, what matters most is not just where we go… but who we share it with.
