Where it goes

Círculo Polar Ártico
The line is marked on the ground on the edge of town, next to the Santa Claus village. It is the point from which polar nights start being counted.
Arktikum
The Arctic museum, with a room on how and why auroras form. Going on your first day makes sense of what you see afterwards.
Ounasvaara
The hill on the edge of town where you can watch auroras away from the city lights. It is the option if you book no excursion at all.
Safari de huskies
Dog-drawn sleds across the frozen river. You drive the sled yourself after a short briefing.
Granja de renos
The working animal of the Sámi, the indigenous people of Lapland. Many farms hand out a “reindeer driving licence” after the ride.

Iglús de cristal
You sleep looking up at the sky without going out into the cold. They book out many months ahead in aurora season.
Kaunispää
The hilltop viewpoint, with a road all the way up. It is one of the easiest places in Lapland to wait for an aurora from the car.
Safari nocturno de huskies
Night departures well away from the village lights, which is the condition that really decides whether you see auroras or not.
Urho Kekkonen
Finland's largest protected area, with snowshoe routes and open huts free to use.
Sauna de humo y baño en el hielo
The Finnish habit of alternating sauna and ice water. Many places to stay cut a hole in the lake for exactly this.
