DAY FOUR THE ICEHOTEL® This morning you will be driven to the world famous ICEHOTEL® at Jukkasjarvi. There will be plenty of time to explore the rooms, the chapel and the ABSOLUT ICEBAR® as well as marvel at magnificent sculptures all created entirely from snow and ice. This is a visit you will long remember. Lunch included. Approximately 4 to 5 hours. DAY FIVE SNOWMOBILES AND SANTA Gallivare is a snowmobile hotspot with over 800km of prepared tracks cutting through the snowy tundra and taiga. Your 25km circuit takes you along a frozen river, deep into the forest and across iced-over lakes. Watch out for moose and reindeer! Children up to 16 years ride in a sleigh pulled by a guide's snowmobile. Approximately 2 hours. After lunch at the hotel you have time to relax during the afternoon or why not spend time on the lake trying the snowshoes, cross-country skis, sledges and kick sleds which are provided free of charge by the hotel. Your farewell meal is rather special. You take a short horsepulled sleigh ride into the forest and with no light pollution, the chances of seeing a spectacular Northern Lights display are very good. After a while the path is lit by candles and you arrive at a forest camp where Santa is waiting to welcome you. After grilling sausages over an open fire, you enter his winter home for a farewell dinner in a quite magical setting. DAY SIX AIRPORT TRANSFERS AND FLIGHTS Return airport transfers and flights home.
