POLAR NIGHT

DECEMBER

In early winter, daylight diminishes and the Polar Night takes hold. Glimpses of sunbeams in the horizon are sparse, but uniquely colourful.

The twilight of the Polar Night embodies the magical mystique of Lapland, and is ideal for cosying up indoors next to a fireplace and getting in tune with the stillness around. Outside, the Northern Lights illuminate the darkness on clear nights.

SEASON’S ACTIVITIES

You can see Northern Lights from August to April

The felltops are ideal for admiring the Polar Night as far as the eye can see – up high is the way to go.
