Northern Lights and the Magical Night Sky
Northern Lights and the Magical Night Sky
If you’re in search of the Aurora Borealis, Kilpisjärvi is a must-visit destination.
Statistically, the Kilpisjärvi area boasts clear night skies and more frequent appearances of the northern lights than any other place in Finland, making it a prime choice for aurora sightings. After a short snowmobile ride, you’ll have the chance to admire the stunning night sky in complete silence on a tranquil tundra lake surrounded by snowy fells, far away from light pollution. We recommend snowmobiling during the safari to make the most of this magical journey.
Distance and duration 15 km / 3h. This guided tour package includes guiding, thermal outfit, photos by the guide, a hot drink, and a pastry.
