Ivalo: A Sleighride and an Evening in the Backcountry

If you get lucky during a stay in the villages or resorts you might see the northern lights. But best way to experience them is far away from street lights and light pollusion. Seeking out the backcountry with a knowledgeable local guide is an excellent way to appreciate these natural wonders without an embellishment. Simply put, come and see for yourself – no promises necessary. Viewing the northern lights on a lake is magical especielly with the moon light. Enjoy the warmth of a camp fire while waiting the auroras to show up. Tips: Don't book any aurora safaris when it's snowing. It's like wanting to see the sun at night. (Which actually is possible in Lapland during summer months because of the midnight sun)
