Rovaniemi City Library

Join our legendary Northern Lights trip to maximize your chances to see this great natural arctic phenomenon and learn to make pictures of Auroras. Our destination is the best possible place – a small mountain where the sky is often clear and view to the north perfect. Even on our 45 minutes way out from Rovaniemi it is possible to see the Northern Lights – Aurora Borealis if the weather is good. We will end up to a large lodge just in the middle of the wilderness where we can find toilets and facilities. Afterwards we have a little walk up the hill where a comfortable tepee is waiting for us. We make a fire in the tepee and enjoy warm beverages and barbeque while watching the sky. The guide shares information about Northern Lights and the old mythology around them. The arctic starry sky is very beautiful. Spot the Big Bear and Polar Star, Northern Lights often appear just under the Polar Star. Listen to the stories about local life and nature by living fire. Experience some Lappish shamanism and see your future with our great Aurora guides! Our Northern Lights trip has got excellent feedback already for years. This is because our Northern Lights spotting place is the best possible place where are no other lights at all, northern sky is fully open and the weather is often clear even if it is cloudy or foggy in the town. By our long experience the right hours to be out there is 11-12 PM. Anyway you need some luck to see the lights because it is unpredictable even during the trip! Great surprises happen! The likelihood is about 80% to see some kind of lights. Is it the highest in the world? We do not know but we think so
