Visit Santa

Every evening, Santa stops at the Reindeer park located
near the Star Arctic Hotel, to spend a well-deserved break
from visiting all around the world. Luckily for us, it is our
best chance to visit the Santa in person in a joyful and
warm surrounding with a magical atmosphere.

Around the warmth of fire and with the help of ginger-
bread and juice, you will be given a chance to write a
letter to Santa. You will then have a ride through the snowy
forest in a snowmobile sleigh to Santa’s cabin. In the
cabin, Santa will receive the special guests of his, and give
presents to the family young ones. The unforgettable and
magical meeting with the Santa ends with the ride back to
the hotel reception.
