The magic of the Northern Lights are still with us this year, thanks to the ongoing solar maximum, the aurora borealis is continuing to put on a spectacular show right through to the end of March, offering a final chance to witness this breathtaking natural phenomenon. If you’ve always dreamed of seeing the Northern Lights, you still have time to book your trip with us! Join us on an unforgettable journey to the heart of Swedish Lapland with Aurora Nights, where we head out on evening excursions to chase the Northern lights, explore the Arctic Circle on snowmobiles, and enjoy the last two months of this winter wonderland.

Now is the Perfect Time to See the Northern Lights

The solar maximum, a period of heightened solar activity, is responsible for the stunning auroras we’ve been witnessing. During this phase, the sun emits more charged particles, which interact with Earth’s magnetic field, creating the mesmerising displays of light we know as the Northern Lights. We can still expect to see vibrant auroras well into late March. This extended Winter season offers a unique opportunity to experience the magic of the aurora without the extreme cold of mid-winter.

Your Lapland Adventure with Aurora Nights

Aurora Nights specializes in crafting unforgettable Arctic experiences. Our trips to Northern Sweden are designed to maximise your chances of witnessing the Northern Lights, while also immersing you in the stunning beauty and unique culture of Swedish Lapland. Here’s a glimpse of what awaits you:

Chasing the Aurora:

Our expert guides will lead you to prime viewing locations, away from light pollution, where you can witness the Northern Lights. We monitor weather patterns and aurora forecasts to ensure we’re in the right place at the right time. You could be standing beneath a sky ablaze with shimmering greens, pinks, and purples dancing above you – a truly awe-inspiring experience.

Crossing the Arctic Circle:

A trip to Lapland wouldn’t be complete without crossing the Arctic Circle, the imaginary line marking the southernmost point where the sun can remain above the horizon for 24 continuous hours in summer, or below the horizon for 24 continuous hours in winter. We’ll take you to this iconic landmark, where you can capture memorable photos and receive a special certificate commemorating your Arctic adventure.

Embracing the Winter Wonderland:

Late March in Swedish Lapland offers a unique blend of winter and spring. While snow still blankets the landscape, the days are getting longer and the temperatures are milder than in the depths of winter. This creates perfect conditions for enjoying a variety of snow activities.

Snowmobiling Under the Stars:

Experience the thrill of riding through the snowy forests and across frozen lakes on a snowmobile. Our guided snowmobile tours offer an exhilarating way to explore the wilderness of Swedish Lapland. We offer both daytime and evening snowmobile excursions, with the latter providing an excellent opportunity for aurora viewing.

Sami Culture and Reindeer Encounters:

Immerse yourself in the rich culture of the indigenous Sami people, the traditional reindeer herders of Swedish Lapland. We offer opportunities to visit reindeer farms, learn about Sami traditions, and even try your hand at reindeer sledding. These cultural experiences provide a fascinating insight into the unique way of life in the Arctic.

Accommodation and Cuisine:

We carefully select authentic accommodation, ranging from cosy log cabins to unique glamping destinations, ensuring you have a relaxing and enjoyable stay. You’ll also have the opportunity to savor the delicious local cuisine, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients, including reindeer meat, Arctic char, and cloudberries.
