Overview

Join us for a magical family-friendly Northern Lights viewing experience like no other! Set off on an unforgettable adventure, where you’ll have the chance to marvel at the auroras in a unique, child-centered setting on a frozen lake.

The journey begins with a short, scenic drive to a picturesque location, where we minimize travel time to ensure a relaxed experience. Warm up in cozy huts with heated spaces and toilets, so you can focus on the beauty of the Northern Lights without the chill. As an added bonus, there’s a chance to see majestic reindeer in their natural habitat.

To keep the little ones entertained, we’ve included a thrilling sledding hill and classic kicksleds, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the great outdoors before the night sky lights up. We’ve also planned an earlier start and finish time to help young ones stick to their bedtime while still making the most of the adventure.
