Chasing the Northern Lights in Style

The Northern Lights are one of the most breathtaking natural wonders on Earth. In Lapland, witnessing them transforms from a simple sight into an extraordinary luxury experience when everything is arranged privately and seamlessly.

When Can You See the Northern Lights?

The aurora season in Lapland lasts from late August until early April. The best chances are usually in September–October, during the darkest winter months (December–February), and again in March, when the nights are still dark but the skies often clearer. The lights most often appear between 9 PM and 2 AM, when the sky is at its darkest and far from artificial light. The longer you stay, the greater your chance of witnessing this Arctic magic.

Why Is a Private Experience Different?

Imagine being picked up from your luxury lodge in a private car, then guided far from city lights into the silence of the forest. As you sit by a crackling fire, sipping champagne under the vast northern sky, the Aurora Borealis begins its mesmerizing dance above you. With no crowds and no rush, the moment is entirely yours.

Our Aurora Experiences Include:

Private photography arrangements available on request

Exclusive locations, far away from the crowds

Warming drinks and gourmet snacks

The option to combine the experience with a husky safari or snowmobile adventure
