The silent, snow-covered forest, and the magical Northern Lights above you. Take a seat in a heated aurora sleigh as a guide tows you through moonlit fells and starlit landscapes, far from residential light pollution. At a forest clearing you’ll prepare cameras, wait by the fire with hot drinks and snacks, and watch the auroras when they appear.

What the day feels like

What the three hours feel like

You meet in Levi, then climb into a heated sleigh that the guide tows with a snowmobile. The short journey through moonlit fells ends in a sheltered clearing where the group readies cameras, lights a fire and sips hot drinks while listening to tales and waiting for the Northern Lights to appear across the sky.
