Ski holiday in the land of Santa Claus

Where can you celebrate Christmas better, than around Santa Claus himself? Near the ski resorts of Luosto and Rovaniemi, and only a few kilometres from Rovaniemi International Airport is the official Santa Claus village.

Santa Claus originates from the pagan 'Joulupukki', a scary version of Santa Claus, who over the years has grown more and more like the American Santa Claus. Joulupukki was originally certainly not such a nice old man, as a pagan legend that was around to ensure that children behaved themselves. Nothing like the Santa Claus we know who lives around the Arctic Circle along with his reindeers!

Here near Rovaniemi is also the official post office of Santa Claus, where more than 700,000 letters are sent each year! Would you also like to send a letter to Santa Claus before you come here for an unforgettable winter sports holiday? Send your personal message, just as children do, from all over the world to the official Santa Claus Post Office:

On this Christmas tour you go both on a snowmobile, reindeer-sleigh-ride in the direction of the official reindeerfarm of Santa Claus, passing the famous mountain Korvatunturi. Ending the with a visit to Santa Claus himself in his village around the Arctic Circle!
