Visit the home of the REAL Father Christmas Preview Brochure 2013 SANTA’S LAPLAND Preview EDITION 2013 SANTA’S LAPLAND Preview EDITION 2013 True Lapland Far away from the concrete ski hotels and glaring commercialism of mass-market winter resorts, lies a land of tranquility, stunning natural beauty and warm, welcoming communities on the edge of a vast wilderness. This is the True Lapland, a land of legends and magic, where Father Christmas has chosen to make his home. For your special visit to Santa, Transun will transport you to the region of Enontekiö, in the far-flung north-western arm of Finland, deep within the Arctic Circle, 1,000km north of Finland’s capital Helsinki and about 300km north of the commercialised resort of Rovaniemi. In Enontekiö you will breathe in what is claimed to be the cleanest air in the world. Here, the endless expanse of wilderness envelops the visitor with peace and silence. Here, the majestic Northern Lights frequently evolve across the night sky and the road north to Tromsø is officially named the ‘Northern Lights Route’. Here, amid untainted rivers, crystal-clear lakes, and vast forests, magnificent wildlife still thrives. And then there are the reindeer: 20,000 of them, compared with just 2,000 people. But what a people they are, for Enontekiö is part of the Sámi homeland area that has supported the unique way of life of its Sámi peoples for generations. Your Short Break in Lapland A magical meeting with Santa is the highlight of your short break in True Lapland. But there’s so much more included ... and it’s all magical! Our short breaks include the following activities, allowing you to immerse yourself in the stunning vistas and snowscapes of True Lapland, amongst some of the cleanest air in the world. This is a community built upon a deep respect for the natural world, with a traditional commitment to hospitality, as Transun guests will discover to their delight. And at Christmas time in particular, this is a mysterious land of myths and legends where the possibilities of magic come alive. The people of this land have long believed in elves, traditionally Santa’s helpers in the run-up to his epic Christmas journey. His whereabouts are a closely guarded secret but the reindeer have heard rumours as to his hideout. They will be your guides in your search for Santa, deep in the silent forests of True Lapland. SEARCH FOR SANTA BY REINDEER SLEIGH A GUARANTEED PRIVATE MEETING WITH SANTA Amid huge excitement, you set out into the hushed, snow-laden forest, first by snowmobile, until all traces of human habitation have been left behind. Then, in the magical forest, you climb aboard a sleigh, pulled by a willing reindeer – it could be a cousin of Dasher, Dancer or Prancer! – to seek out Santa’s hidden hideaway. Perhaps a friendly elf will appear to help you find clues. There is a hush of expectation in the air, broken only by the sound of sleigh bells... are they coming from your own sleigh, or is Santa on the move nearby? You’ve found a delightful hidden cabin in the forest, a warm light shining from its windows. Hearts racing, you push the door open ... and here is Father Christmas, warm and cosy in his hideaway, surrounded by evocative toys and decorations, and stacks and stacks of Christmas presents. There are no queues. No having to share the moment. Just you, your children and the grand old man himself who magically knows a great deal about them. How, you might ask? Well, that’s Santa’s little secret, of course! A THRILLING HUSKY EXPERIENCE SNOWMOBILE ADVENTURE Friendly, hard-working and eager to please, husky dogs have long helped man traverse the snowy tundra of the Arctic. And you can enjoy the thrill of being pulled through the magnificent snowscapes by your own team of dogs, the runners of your sled hissing through the snow and ice. On your Husky Experience, lasting around 40 minutes, you will have time to befriend the dogs and learn about their busy lives, before briefly ‘mushing’ your team through the wilderness, with one adult steering and one adult, or two small children, as passengers. The snowmobile, or skidoo, has transformed the lives of those who live in the Arctic. Versatile and fast, they make travelling through the snow-laden landscapes an exhilarating experience. You will enjoy a one-hour safari, with the forests unfolding as you speed along. These are powerful machines and can only be driven by holders of a full driving licence, with up to one passenger aged 15 or above on the back. Children under 15 will travel in a sleigh being pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. SSSH! IT’S SANTA’S LITTLE SECRET Children everywhere know that Santa keeps an eye on them throughout the year and seems to know a great deal about how good they have been when it comes to Christmas time. And he knows all about them too! Favourite football team? Pets’ names? Major events over the last 12 months? Santa’s in the know. How does Santa know all this information about the individual boys and girls who visit him? Well, that’s Santa’s little secret, of course, but, to enhance your child’s meeting with the grand old man, we will let parents in on the secret once your booking is processed. Please note: only available on short breaks. 2 FOR BOOKINGS CALL 01865 265200 OR VISIT WWW.TRANSUN.CO.UK FOR BOOKINGS CALL 01865 265200 OR VISIT WWW.TRANSUN.CO.UK 3 SANTA’S LAPLAND Preview EDITION 2013 SANTA’S LAPLAND Preview EDITION 2013 Hetta and Hotels Hotels and cosy log cabins in a typical True Lapland village A unique winter retreat... providing warmth within the wilderness Deep inside the Arctic Circle, the picturesque village of Karesuando is set on the edge of a vast wilderness where beauty, nature and wildlife abound.

The hotel is set on a secluded hillside on the edge of Karesuando, allowing you to savour the tranquillity of this beautiful, unspoiled region. The centrepiece of the hotel is its distinctive restaurant, which provides spectacular panoramic views. The circular design of the restaurant is inspired by the shape of the Sámi reindeer corral. The Davvi offers four choices of accommodation. Aurora House The Davvi Arctic Lodge now offers comfortable designer accommodation for those who would like to enjoy something extra special. The Aurora House takes your Arctic experience to new levels, with digital underfloor heating, free-standing baths, saunas, and modern log-burning stoves.
