SIRKKA GUIDED TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Northern Lights in the Fells at Night by Aurora Sleigh
A three-hour guided outing from Levi that tows you by snowmobile in a heated sleigh into a dark, snow-covered forest for comfortable aurora watching, photography and hot drinks by the fire.
Northern Lights in the Fells at Night by Aurora Sleigh.
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.

Heated sleigh to a light‑pollution‑free forest
The guide tows the heated aurora sleigh with a snowmobile through snowy, moonlit terrain into the forest, putting distance between you and nearby settlements so the night sky reads cleaner and darker.
Warm seat, fire and hot refreshments
This is the option for those who prefer to sit rather than ride a snowmobile: enjoy a seat in a heated sleigh, warm berry juice, cookies and marshmallows, and wait for the aurora in comfort by the fire.

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.
