Activities

TUI family snowmobile safari to elves cabin

Strap in for a rip-roaring ride across Rovaniemi's icy tundra on a three-hour snowmobile safari. Hop on and carve through the wintry wilderness, dashing past snow-capped forests and frostbitten glades, before an extra special treat – a chance encounter with one of Santa's elves. Spend time learning about Lappish traditions and sipping cocoa over the warmth of a campfire – a memory for the whole family to cherish.After the kids are loaded onto a comfy sleigh, you'll jump on your snowmobile for an adventure like no other. Whisk through the snow, following your guide along blizzard-swept routes and tracks. You'll feel the exhilaration of zipping through this magical scenery, with the cold air biting your cheeks.And just as the thrill of the chill peaks, we'll skid to a storybook halt at an elf's cabin nestled in a nook of the Narnian-like forest. Over a cosy campfire, hot chocolate flows and laughter rings, mingling with the faint echo of sleigh bells. It's a heartwarming interlude where time pauses, and the only shivers are from the tales and treats Santa's elf shares.
