Out of Kurravaara, a short SkySled run takes you away from town lights to a hidden Arctic clearing where stars feel low and the aurora can unfurl overhead; here you’ll wait for the show from the warmth of a traditional tipi while sharing a two‑course dinner and stories around a bonfire.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SKY

A secluded, low‑light spot for aurora viewing

The tour travels to a secret location chosen for minimal light pollution so the Northern Lights — when they appear — are framed by a very dark, star-filled sky.

THE SHELTER

Dinner inside a classic Tentipi

Dining takes place inside a cosy tipi (Tentipi), where guests enjoy a two‑course, locally inspired meal and warm themselves at a bonfire while waiting for the aurora.

THE RIDE

A SkySled transfer into genuine Arctic scenery

The journey itself is by SkySled to a hidden spot framed by authentic arctic terrain — part of the experience that separates this private night outing from an ordinary viewing.

What the day feels like

What the evening feels like

You meet, board a SkySled and are guided away from town into open Arctic country to a secluded clearing. Inside a Tentipi you share a two‑course dinner and stories around a bonfire while the sky above stands ready — the evening unfolds slowly: travel, a warm meal, conversation, then the patient watch for the Northern Lights.
