The Northern Lights

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, can be observed from late August to early April. In our area of Sweden we often have cold winter nights with clear skies. Our tours take place in wild and rural areas away from strong artificial sources of light. You have an good chance of seeing them here and we will do our best to help you experience it.

Sometimes they last only a few minutes, other times they may continue for an hour or more or reoccur several times over one night. The sky must be dark and clear in order to see them. If you would like to see the Northern Lights. The full moon can brighten the sky considerably and make aurora displays less visible to the eye. Having said that, we have seen Northern Lights many times despite the moon being full and there can be cloud cover or simply no Northern Lights on the new moon. It is impossible to predict the Northern Lights many days in advance but aurora activity can be predicted with some short term accuracy.
