Get the most out of your chase for the Auroras!
Our Northern Light trip starts with an exciting sleigh ride behind a snowmobile driven by one of our knowledgable guides. Depending on current snow and weather conditions you will be taken to one of several different locations in the area, all practically free from light pollution.
In the early part of the season before ice conditions on Lake Torneträsk are stable and safe, we will use our teepee in the area around Abisko National Park. When the ice on the lake is thick enough to safely travel on you will be taken to one of our regular location. A couple of our favourites feature a mobile wooden hut and the other an insulated tepee standing on top of a largewooden deck. Both locations offer spectacular views in all directions and are excellent places for watching and photographing the Auroras. If you get cold you can always come inside the shelter where we will keep a hot fire burning throughout the evening.

Make sure to bring your camera and preferably at least one extra battery as the winter temperatures can significantly reduce battery life.

To improve your photographs of the Northern Lights you are also welcome to borrow one of our tripods.
