10. • Santa`s Resort Kakslauttanen is now open. The resort includes Santa's own house,
where Santa receives visitors. Elves serve hot drinks and ginger biscuits during your
visit.
• Near Santa's house there is a large reindeer pen, where you can see some of Santa's
and his elves' reindeer and even drive a reindeer-drawn sledge in winter! In summer
reindeer roam freely in the area, which has two peat shelters for them to use in hot
weather. This is a good place for visitors to see and take pictures of reindeer.
• Santa and his elves have built a 50 metres long and 10 metres high bridge over a bog
to Gold Creek, where Gold Elves live in their own hut. Near the bridge there is a 10
metres high tower, home to the Bridgekeeper Elf. In summer Gold Elves dig for gold
together with the other elves in Gold Creek.
• Santa, Gold Elves and the Smith Elf have a secret recipe that allows them to create
millions of presents from the gold dug by the Gold Elves. You can see the light
sparkling, when the Smith Elf pitches gold nuggets into his forge and presents fly
around the world just like text messages.
• In summer visitors can pan for gold at Santa's resort under the direction of Gold and
other elves. You can keep any nuggets you find. The Gold Elves guarantee that
everybody will find at least one nugget and often more. The Gold Elf “Räyhä” has
found several large nuggets in Gold Creek with the biggest one weighing 30
grammes! In winter Santa's Resort offers a perfect hill for sledding, located just
beside the cafe and souvenir shop. If you are eager to see Northern Lights, look no
further, as Santa's Resort provides an excellent spot for watching Aurora Borealis.
• You can experience all this for two hours with elves as your guide. Santa's Resort
Kakslauttanen is conveniently located just 15 minutes drive from Saariselkä area,
west of Hotel & Igloo Village Kakslauttanen. You can come by car and also by
snowmobile or with a husky team in winter.
25. Glass igloo provides an one of a kind opportunity to admire the northern lights and
millions of stars of the crystal clear Lapp sky in a comfortable room temperature. Built
from a special thermal glass the temperature inside the igloo always stays a normal
level. It also prevents the glass from not getting white frosted, hence keeping the view
clear even when the temperature outside drops to under -30°C. Every igloo is equipped
with a toilet and luxury beds.
