Nightfall in a Tepee: A Romantic Aurora Retreat Outside Vindeln.
Set in Vindeln, Västerbotten, the Tepee Romance Package places two guests in a heated Aurora Tepee for an overnight stay, paired with a cosy two‑dish dinner served in the operator’s 1904 guesthouse and a breakfast basket delivered to the tepee the following morning. It’s designed for couples seeking an intimate night under the northern lights or a clear starry sky while enjoying local produce and simple, comfortable facilities.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
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
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 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.
