Northern Lights Trip with an Overnight Stay in a Snow Igloo

Summary

Even 45 minutes away from Rovaniemi and its artificial lights, it is possible to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) if the weather is good. Afterwards, take a little walk up a hill where a comfortable, wooden tepee is waiting. Make a fire in the tepee and enjoy warm beverages and barbecue snacks while watching the sky. The guide explains all about Northern Lights and the old mythology. The appearance of the lights is not guaranteed. The arctic starry sky is very beautiful. Spot the Big Bear and Polar Star. The Northern Lights often appear just under the Polar Star. Listen to the stories about local life and nature by the fire. Experience some Lappish shamanism by open fire, and see your future with the great Aurora guides! Afterwards, stay the night in an authentic, snow igloo following the lights all night long.
