Northern Lights

One mention of the wonder of nature that is the Northern Lights and the mind is immediately transported to the frozen wildernesses of the north and destinations such as Abisko, one of the premier destinations to view the Northern Lights in Sweden. While you are in the Abisko National Park or the surrounding Kiruna Mountains you have a very high likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights dance in green over your head. If you’re lucky you will get to witness them take on colours ranging through purple, blue, yellow or even red. Whether the Northern Lights in Abisko show themselves in the form of curtains, spirals, arcs or coronas, you can rest assured that it will be a sight that you will never forget!

The Abisko Northern Lights can be seen anywhere between September and early April and the dark skies of Abisko and the surrounding area are a great place to spend the night searching for them. You can see the Northern Lights in Abisko often from right outside your hotel, however we recommend taking one of the trips and tours which take you out into the wilderness where the skies are that bit darker, making the northern lights that little bit more vivid and amazing!
