The spectacle of the Northern Lights
In old Finnish folklores, a mystical creature known as the Fire Fox was believed to paint the Northern Lights across the sky. As it raced over the snow-covered mountains, its tail ignited sparks that ascended into the heavens, illuminating the night with ethereal flames of emerald. Now you have the chance of witnessing this celestial beauty with your own eyes
— a spectacle where myth and reality intertwine in the Arctic sky.
The Northern Lights, known also as Aurora Borealis, are more than just a sight to behold – also the science behind them is astonishing, and you can learn more with your personal private host and guide during your stay. Through the dark winter you might be able to see the magnificent Northern Lights dancing above you. In Rovaniemi, the Northern Lights appear approximately 150 nights a year, from late August onwards, with the possibility of observing them until early April under favourable weather conditions. Your private guide will be able to direct and take you to the best vantage points to witness this spectacular phenomenon, and you can solely focus on enjoying the show that stretches out far above you.
A gentle reminder: We cannot guarantee the Northern Lights appearing for you. Even if they are not visible during your stay, the experience of the raw and pure beauty of arctic nature is sure to leave a lasting impression. The Northern Lights serve as a reminder of the natural marvels that exist beyond our control.
