Brilliant family ski location in Finland

We really enjoyed an incredible few days in Ruka ski area. Great slopes for all grades of skiing. Very child friendly with Rudolph child ski school. Great instructors. Very easy to rent equipment. All in all an incredible experience. We would gladly go back.

Hi Looking to book crystal Santa adventure week in December. Is it possible to have a personal meet/visit to Santa rather than with groups? Thanks in advance for replies.

Answer

I don't believe it is possible to have a personal meet but Santa does spend time with each child and there are plenty of chances for photos. The trip we did was with a group and there was no detriment in doing so. You get... More
