I will give you the best chance to see the northern lights. The Rovaniemi city area is often cloudy and full of light pollution, what makes it hard to observe the auroras. Therefore we will drive away from the city lights to find perfect spots where the sky is clear enough to see the auroras. I will choose the route according to the weather condition. Sometimes we need to go far in order to see something. I will keep an eye on the geomagnetic activity and the weather forecast. I will bring my camera and make pictures if we see northern lights. I will send you some pictures after the tour. If you bring your own camera (DSLR) and tripod I will show you how to make northern light pictures. During the trip you will also learn about the life in Lapland, local culture and a lot about the northern lights . - I pick you up at your accommodation at the agreed time - We drive out of the city to a good northern light watching spot - We move on to different locations if we need to find better viewing conditions - I will show you how to make good aurora pictures, and will make some for you. - I drive you back to your accommodation Other things to note Please tell me in advance if you need any additional winter clothing. Don't forget to bring your camera and a tripod.

The best way to see the northern lights is to be outside in beautiful unspoiled nature. I will take you there. With snowshoes we will go through untouched snow to find a perfect spot for aurora watching. We will make a fire and have some hot drinks to keep us warm. If the sky is clear and the aurora activity is high, you will have good chances to see northern lights. If it is cloudy more luck is involved. In any case this will be a wonderful adventure. I will also bring some sausages to grill and some cookies. I will pick you up at your Rovaniemi accommodation or at the meeting point and bring you to a forest area 15 to 30 km away from the city, according to the weather conditions.

Aah yes, the beautiful pictures of Aurora Borealis! The best that Lapland has to offer, the Northern Lights, right? Im going to be totally honest with you: To see the Borealis is all about luck. Thats why I want you to experience other great Lappish things; to have a good time for four hours with open fire, two different types of huts / wickets, traditional Lappish / Finnish food & treats, stories, lake views, the polar night, the surrounding nature and atmosphere. And if we are lucky, the skies are clear and the universe serves us right, the Borealis will add a final touch to our shared traditional Lappish experience in the winter nature. Heres what is going to happen: – I will pick you up at 18.00 sharp – A drive of about 20 kilometers away from the city´s light pollution. – A short walk through the night forrest to the lake – We start a fire in the hut. – Free hanging around the area, spotting the borealis ect. while I cook. – The Dinner – We can try to figure out do the Borealis really hum... – I will watch the borealis radar – If theres no Borealis by the lake, we head on top Ounasvaara for different views & change for Sledging – I will drop you off where you want Other things to note The car we use is a 2017 Dacia Duster 4x4. I have warm clothes & shoes to borrow but they are not the latest fashion.
