Somewhere under the northern lights - Arctic Horizons

Every year, there are beetween 150 and 200 nights with northern lights above Luosto (meaning around 50% chance per evening ! ). But, keep in mind that the northern lights are born in the upper layers of the atmosphere, and therefore, they can be observed only during cloudless nights !

For this reason, the best "strategy" for northern lights watching is just to check the weather forecast few days in advance before your arrival. You can also check northern lights forecast websites, such as : "spaceweather.com". Once you have selected the best evening, you just contact me to book this program (you can reserve this program by whats-app, text message, or email until 17.00 of the very same day, I usually don't answer vocal calls if I am in the Nature with clients, so let a written message and I'll answer as soon as possible ! First person to call, first to be served. ).

We will meet at 20.00 in Luosto, and we'll head to Pyhä-Luosto national park. Our snowshoeing trip will take us through the snow covered boreal forest all the way to the top of Ukkoluosto fell, and its breathtaking panoram. From the ridge line, we can see in all directions for 80km, and if the northern lights show up, we will be on the first row!! The track is not difficult, and as we don't have any group pressure, we will take all the breaks we want, to rest a bit, make a picture, or just enjoy the silence of Lapland. Once we are close from the top, we will find a nice, wind sheltered spot, and wait for the northern lights.

DURATION : 3-3,5 hours (from 20.00 to 23.00+)
INCLUDES :Hot beverage and cookies/pastry, snowshoeing equipment, head lights, and a small bubbly surprise!

Arctic Horizons is a small (actually one man!) company, offering private guided outdoor activities in Luosto, Lapland, since 2005.
