Saariselkä, the village of the northern lights

Saariselkä, Lapland, Finland

Best time for aurora borealis*: October to March
We love our Northern Lights villages with their cozy chalets under glass roofs.
Experience the connection to nature from the comfort of your bed beneath the rounded panoramic window, while the Northern Lights dance across the clear Lapland winter sky. With their large, laser-heated panoramic windows and electric fireplace, the Aurora Chalets offer the perfect comfort in the middle of the wilderness.
The unspoiled nature surrounding Northern Lights Village offers numerous activities: husky sledding, snowmobile tours, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice bathing, and ice fishing are all on the agenda.
Delicious local dishes await you in the restaurant, and you can relax by the open fireplace in the bar.
