SINCE 2009 IN ORNAVASSO (VERBANIA) LAKE MAGGIORE
An elf village with entertainment and a two-hundred-meter underground tunnel with a 30-meter-high marble hall: Santa Claus awaits you here. The real Christmas just an hour from the city. A nature excursion through trails and natural landscapes.
Family-friendly: more services, more activities, more convenience. With an open ticket valid for 12 months, ideal for families with children.
Security: You never lose your tickets
Book now to save and secure your spot. With flexible dates (free today), if you can't make it, your ticket is valid for 12 months for all our events.
We have been serving families for 15 years.
Freedom: you decide the length of the trip.
Half a day, a day if you want also Grotta Cruise to Stresa to the Islands of Light, a weekend.
Book only the time you want to meet Santa Claus to avoid waiting.
We know how important flexibility is with children.
Emotions: The Real Santa Claus
"It's really him himself!" is the phrase we've heard most often since 2009 during our encounter with Santa Claus in the underground grotto. Today, we're giving away the family photo.
The best gift is shared emotions.
