The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis are a breathtaking sight on a dark winter sky while skiing or snowshoeing in the wilderness. We organise tours around Pyhätunturi in the Finnish Lapland which is a great place to see the Auroras. The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon caused by particles in solar winds touching the magnetic field of earth. Few things are as unforgettable as seeing the vibrant green, white or purple lights and hues dancing against the dark arctic sky. The best time to see the Northern Lights is generally from November to March but the Northern Lights can be visible outside these months as well.
The Finnish name for the Northern Lights / Aurora Borealis is "revontulet". This name comes from the Sami culture where the legend says that the lights come when a magical fox runs in the snow covered fells and creates sparks in the sky with it's tail. Learn more about the Northern Lights on one of our tours and exprience them yourself!
Please keep in mind: since the Northern lights are a natural phenomenon seeing them or the vibrancy of them can't be guaranteed during the tour.
OUR NORTHERN LIGHTS TOURS AT PYHÄTUNTURI
When it gets dark it's our time to put on our skis or snowshoes and head out to the wilderness. We'll snowshoe or ski in the snowy forest around Pyhätunturi with our headlamps and on a clear night we'll also have the moon and stars lighting our. We will tour to an open space where we will get a good vantage point to search for the Northern Lights and given the right conditions we will have a great possibility to witness the amazing dancing Northern ligths in the dark sky.
During the tour we will stop for a break and start a fire together to keep warm. By the fire you will get to enjoy light meal or snacks made from local ingredients accompanied with hot beverages while looking up the sky searching for the magical Northern Lights.
Please note that the best possibility to see Auroras is in clear weather, when the stars are visible in the sky. It's important to remember that Auroras are not visible every night and therefore seeing the Northern Lights during the activity can't be guaranteed, but the experience of skiing or snowshoeing in the snowy wilderness after dark is an amazing experience itself!
Our Northern Lights tours usually start around 8 PM at Pyhä Ski Resort area and the duration of the tour is usually 3-3,5 hours. The duration and starting times can be adjusted to your liking.
