Highlights
Join our signature Northern Lights experience in the heart of Saariselkä, where wide-open tundra and dark Arctic skies create ideal conditions for seeing the aurora. Leaving the village lights behind, you’ll head into the quiet wilderness of Lapland to wait for the Northern Lights in a private location chosen for its uninterrupted northern views. While watching the sky, settle into the warmth of a traditional tepee, gather around the fire, and enjoy light snacks in the stillness of the Arctic night. Far from crowds and noise, the experience is as much about the atmosphere as the aurora itself. Throughout the evening, your guide shares local stories and fascinating insights into the science behind the Northern Lights, adding depth to what you see above. Professional photography is also included, so you can simply enjoy the moment and leave with lasting memories of the night—whether the aurora appears in full color or quietly dances overhead.

About Saariselkä
Saariselkä is a small fell resort in Finnish Lapland, at the edge of a vast national park, with northern lights, husky safaris and Sámi culture nearby.
Saariselkä is a resort village in the far north of Finnish Lapland, well north of the Arctic Circle, on the edge of Urho Kekkonen National Park, one of the largest in Finland. Round, treeless fells rise from forests of pine and birch, and Kaunispää fell above the village has a lift and a view. Ivalo, with the nearest airport, is a short drive to the north.
