Where to see the northern lights in Finland

With its Arctic beauty and pristine wilderness, Finnish Lapland is the perfect place for a winter break. Picturesque snow-cloaked pine forests and frozen lakes combine with stylish accommodation from log chalets to glass-roofed aurora cabins.

Finnish Lapland is one of best places on earth to go in search of the aurora – they appear on more than 200 nights a year here. The accommodations we use are chosen for their locations in wilderness areas well away from artificial light sources, increasing the chances of great aurora sightings. Many offer a log fire and some even a private sauna, which adds to the authentic Lapland experience.

Finland winter experiences

Witnessing the northern lights tops the wishlist of many who plan a visit to Finnish Lapland in the winter, and rightly so, but there’s so much more to an Arctic experience than aurora hunting!

Imagine racing through snow-laden boreal forests on a husky sled, winding down in an authentic Finnish sauna, or learning about the life of the Sami whilst cosying up in a lavvu tent.

Snowmobiling, husky sledding, snowshoeing and reindeer safaris are the quintessential experiences that make a winter holiday here so special and ensure that seeing the northern lights is the cherry on top!
