Today you will meet Santa! After a short snow mobile sleigh to Santa’s secret hideaway, you will have the chance to meet him and enjoy a friendly chat together. Santa will give small presents to everyone. To make the experience even more special, families are encouraged to bring letters written to Santa (confidentially handed to reception at least one day in advance). This allows Santa to read the letters beforehand, adding a personal and magical touch to the moment with the children.
