Aurora Tepee for Two
THE ACCOMMODATION

Aurora Tepee for Two

The package includes an overnight stay in a heated Aurora Tepee fitted with comfortable beds for two and electric heating, letting guests wait for the northern lights from a private, sheltered spot.

Two‑Dish Dinner in a Historic Guesthouse
THE FOOD

Two‑Dish Dinner in a Historic Guesthouse

Dinner is served in the operator’s cosy guesthouse (built in 1904) and emphasizes local ingredients—moose, reindeer, bear, lamb, beef from nearby farms and home‑grown vegetables—often beginning with regional favourites such as Västerbotten cheese soup with marinated reindeer thigh and pickled chanterelles.

Northern Lights and Stargazing
THE SKY

Northern Lights and Stargazing

The tepee experience centers on the night sky: while the operator notes the aurora cannot be scheduled, guests can watch for northern lights from the comfort of the tepee or enjoy a vivid starry sky, shooting stars and occasional passes of the International Space Station.

What the day feels like

How the Night Unfolds

You arrive for a two‑dish dinner in the guesthouse, then retire to your private Aurora Tepee stocked with a bottle of sparkling wine and snacks; the tepee’s electric heating and double bed make for a cosy overnight as you wait for the northern lights or a clear, starry night. In the morning a breakfast basket is delivered to the tepee so you can linger before departing.
