Make Rovaniemi your destination if you want to see the night sky transformed into a blaze of color when the aurora borealis puts on a show.
Choosing a great observation spot at the right time of year greatly increases your chances of seeing the spellbinding Northern Lights in Rovaniemi, Lapland. Fortunately, the Scandinavian Travel Group knows exactly where to take you. Our guided tours are carefully planned with the help of professional guides who have local knowledge of the area.
Although the lights are active all year round, you simply won’t see a colourful light show in bright daylight. Ideally, you need complete darkness if you want to see the aurora borealis in all its glory. Therefore, the winter months in Lapland are a great time to plan your Northern Lights hunting expedition. This can be any time from late October through to April. The shorter days and darker nights in Rovaniemi create the perfect black backdrop to host this phenomenal light display.
You need the weather on your side, too. Dark, clear skies emphasize the colour intensity of the lights. No one can control the weather or chase away the clouds but we can track the weather forecast. This allows us to predict when you are more likely to experience the lights.
The Northern Lights are an unpredictable force of nature. There is no guarantee that you will see them. However, this simply adds to the build-up and excitement of the occasion. It is like waiting for the magic to happen. Aurora borealis doesn’t adhere to a schedule. However, we know that between the hours of 7pm and 2am are a good time to keep your eyes open. Around midnight has often proved a popular time to see them, so make sure you don’t fall asleep too early.
