Problem
Where is the Elves Hideaway - Finland - and what to do with the family? I heard about this place at the World Travel Market in London where I saw model elves and a book about an elf in a yellow dress and was instantly intrigued.
I'm beginning to get it sorted.
Gingerbread House
At the centre of the complex is a theme area containing a cute Gingerbread House where you can learn to cook, I presume, gingerbread biscuits.
Whilst I could sit indoors all day eating gingerbread biscuits and reading about elves, I know most people would want to start by seeing :
The Great Outdoors
There's the Ski Levi area.
A hot sauna outdoors.
Skiing.
Or what looks from the poles in the picture like cross-country skiing, but no skiis. It's actually snowshoeing.
Reindeer and Reindeer Sleigh Rides
Husky dogs
(Alternatively canoeing in summer.)
Theme Park Area
A trail leads you through a theme park area, with an entry fee of 15 Euros.
Elves Workshop
Elves Workshop this looks great. The children wear red or green triangular hats like honorary elves. Instructed by Santa, the children make handicrafts such as little dressed model elves.
See my previous posts on elves. This story will run and run or rein and rein, dear.
Souvenirs
They suggest warm socks in seasonal colours.
Accommodation
I go for rustic rather than modern, but it depends on your budget, how many of you, whether you want a double room, a family room or a suite in a villa, and the availability. I also like colour, a touch of red.
They offer various discounts.
