Our resorts are perfectly set up for you to enjoy the magic of Christmas, providing you with the best chances to see the Northern Lights!

Thermal suits and boots are included in our prices for all Inghams Santa Breaks holidays for guests aged 3yrs and over. In both Levi and Ylläs, guests will be asked to collect their thermal suits and boots from our partner shop in the resort centre on arrival. For guests staying in the Ylläs Log Cabins, we usually make a stop on the way from the airport before dropping you off at your cabin, depending on how far your cabin is from the resort centre. We can cater for all sizes, but please mention if you need an extra-large thermal suit or boots when you book so we can advise our partner shop in advance to make sure they have a suit available for you on arrival. For children under 0-2yrs, parents must bring their own thermal clothing as this is not included in the holiday price and availability locally cannot be guaranteed.

On the 2nd day of your Santa Break holiday, make your way through the snowy wonderland of Lapland and seek out Santa's grotto. You'll know you've found him once you spot Comet the reindeer keeping watch outside and ready to say hello to you. Take a peak inside and see Santa as you enjoy a private family meeting with the man himself. To make the most of this amazing day - you can also take part in supervised festive games, cook sausages on an open fire, help the elves bake gingerbread biscuits and make decorations or have great fun tobogganing or playing football in the snow.
