You’ll be seated in a Snowmobile towed sleigh with lamb fur covers to keep you warm. During the 10-minute sleigh ride, you can enjoy the peace of a snowy winter forest.
It’s already getting dark and there is a mysterious feeling of a Christmas adventure in the air. In the middle of the deepest forest, in a secret location, Santa Claus keeps his hide-out cabin.
The snowmobile pulls up by the cabin and you will have a short walk to Santa’s cabin door. After the meeting you’ll take the sleigh ride back to Aurora Village with a small gift from Santa.
Included
Small gift from Santa.
