Lapland - Santa Claus's birth place

With the festive season around the corner, I'm working on a X'mas article, in which I wrote about the intriguing Lapland (Sweden and Finland) - where pure white snow covers sloping mountains and deep forests. Nowhere else in the world can be more magical than the legendary birth place of Santa Claus. Reindeer sleighs and huskies snowmobiles. A child's fantasy cometrue.

'Imagine exploring the mythical Sarek National Park on huskies' sleighs, along the King's trail, past deep forests, lakes and bare mountains. The 3-day trip will allow you to sleep under the stars, where you might just witness the magical aurora, and spot a few moose, reindeer and lynx. With commercialized tourism yet to be developed, there are no tourist cottages or hordes of travelers around - you'll be guaranteed a genuine Christmas adventure. Snow-mobiles and ice-fishing are also activities that you can rarely indulge anywhere else on earth. To get an authentic experience of the Sami culture, you can even ski with tamed reindeers to Skaite and Lake Peuraure! Definitely the best Christmas trip you can have!'
