Experience the enchanting beauty of winter in our traditional lavvu camp, as the dancing Northern Lights fill the sky. Stay warm by the fire and relax inside a cozy tent, as we wait for the stunning Aurora to show.

The faint light from the setting winter sun gleams off the snow with a blue tint. Then, the sun sets, and the skies dim. As the air cools, and the sky gets darker, an explosion of green lights fill the atmosphere. The magnetic waves radiate from the sun, hitting the earth at the speed of light in the cool winter air; Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights.

Gaze at the Northern Lights – The comfortable way.

Not far from the town of Harstad, there is a clearing in the woods, untarnished by light pollution and noise. In other words, perfect conditions for viewing the dancing green lights in the sky. Relax by the firepit, enjoy a hot cup of your beverage of choice, and keep warm atop of reindeer hides in a “lavvu” – a Sami style tent made for the winter conditions. Stay comfortable in the winter wonderland while we wait for the Northern Lights to show. Welcome, to the Northern Lights camp!

Aurora Borealis – The tricky lady

Lady Aurora, a nickname given to the Northern lights, is also known as «The Tricky Lady». Sometimes, even in perfect conditions, one can only see a glimpse of her beauty, or at worst, she will not show at all.

Just in case The Tricky Lady is feeling shy on a particular evening, stay entertained in the winter camp with fun activities, such as snowshoeing, miniskis and sledging! Or sit around the campfire, and listen to the myths and legends surrounding the Northern Lights – how did people from the past react to the colorful lights in the heavens above? And before you know it, Lady Aurora might just show herself after all
