If you’re looking for us, we’ll be in Finland riding a reindeer-pulled sleigh.
As amusing as it sounds, that’s exactly what can be done in the Nordic country this festive season, all thanks to Uber. Instead of ordering a car or van, users can request a sleigh straight out of a Christmas fairy tale that will take them to Santa’s hometown!
“At Uber, we’re always looking at ways to bring a little magic to every trip, and with just the tap of a button you could be on a once-in-a-lifetime tour of one of the most beautiful places on earth,” said Anabel Diaz, vice president and general manager of EMEA Mobility at Uber. “We’re delighted to bring Christmas dreams to life with the launch of Uber Sleigh in Lapland.”
The unique Uber Sleigh experience is free, but works on a first-come, first-served basis so best be quick when booking. Those who are interested in taking the joy ride will be able to choose between going at 10AM or 2PM between December 12 and 18.
The 2-hour journey will venture through snow-covered forests to Rovaniemi which has been declared as Santa’s official hometown. And don’t worry—each sleigh ride includes a blanket!
