Sweden: Northern Light Tour

Known scientifically as the Aurora Borealis, this fascinating phenomena occurs when a solar flare or a solar wind pushes some of the suns particles into our atmosphere. The colors are created in patterns across the sky as a result. And are visible from the upper regions of the Northern Hemisphere, usually between the months of late September and April. The sight is famous the world over and attracts hundreds of thousands of people to the Nordic countries on an annual basis.

Tour

The tour itself is easy to book, and you will get to experience not only the lights but also a variety of other outdoor activities such as dog sledding, reindeer spotting, snowmobile safaris and other cool activities. The Swedes are big on ice fishing, hiking and are internationally renowned for their skiing facilities. Booking the tour will include your accommodation, your travel while you are there, your meals. And also a variety of activities that you can predetermine before you leave, if you like to have a full itinerary.

 

It is worth bearing in mind that the conditions for spotting the Borealis have to be correct. So there is no guarantee that a few nights stay will ensure you see it. When booking, it is best to play it safe and go for the full week. If you are a fan of winter activities you will find lots and lots to entertain you while you wait to see the lights. Which can only be seen between the hours of 6am and 6pm.

Ice hotel

Perhaps even better than the tour itself is the ability to book it in one of the ice hotels. The original Ice hotel sports three day stays. It include ice sculpting workshops, dog sledding, safari, a horseback tour, a sauna and a reindeer farm! Of course, you can’t stay the night in the ice hotel itself without the risk of death. But the tour includes a warm stay in an equally lovely hotel that is in the vicinity!

So if you are looking for an interesting holiday with a winter twist, look no farther than Sweden. What could be better than the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Aurora Borealis from a beautiful country with friendly locals. And plenty of outdoor activities to keep you entertained?
