1. Get on board our Polar Express in Stresa, a real steamboat from 1904 and spend an hour between shows, musicals, having tea with Santa Claus ...

This is the great novelty of Christmas 2021 at Santa's Grotto: from Ornavasso Santa Claus moved to Stresa to welcome all our friends calmly and exclusively, after such a difficult period. Book the day and time of your meeting, give the golden ticket to your children and show it to the conductor who will welcome you on board, together with princesses, waiters, elves ... After visiting the engine room of the steamer, the helm station and decks of the historic boat, unique in Europe and also wonderful for adults, take a seat on the historic seats and wait for our artists. If you wear a Christmas sweater, a hat, a Christmas pajamas, like in the Polar Express movie, it will be even more beautiful and your souvenir photos will be truly unique.

A new idea different from the usual Christmas villages, without having to wait in line ... Santa Claus will come to you for a photo together (you can take it yourself) and to leave your children a small gift ... the first royal of Christmas 2021

All indoor event, with reception and ticket office at the Palazzo del Natale in Stresa at the Congress Center, where you will find the Christmas storyteller, the decorating elves with glass Christmas balls and wooden objects, the original Santa's sleigh, where you can go up for a photo, all the services for a break with the children, the refreshment point. In the historic center you will be welcomed by the commercial activities of Stresa and a few meters from the steamer the Christmas funfair.
