THE EXPERIENCE
Lie back in the water and watch the Arctic night unfold above you. This evening ice-floating experience from Levi takes you to a secluded lake away from town lights, where a thermal rescue suit keeps you buoyant and protected from the cold water. Spend approximately 20 minutes floating beneath the open sky, watching for stars and, when conditions allow, the Northern Lights. Afterwards, warm up with a hot drink before returning to Levi.
3 hours total · approximately 20 minutes floating · approximately 1 hour transfer each way · Northern Lights not guaranteed.
The experience
The transfer from Levi takes approximately one hour. As the car leaves the town lights behind, the sky above opens up. The lake you arrive at is quiet, surrounded by snow-covered spruce forest, with no artificial light in any direction.
The guide fits each guest with a thermal Arctic rescue suit - a high-quality, watertight, fully insulating garment designed for cold-water environments. Guests wear their own clothing underneath. The suit holds you on the surface throughout; nothing else is required.
Step into the lake and lean back. The water takes your weight. For approximately 20 minutes, you float in complete silence: the sky directly above you, the treeline around you, the ice shelf a few metres away. On a clear night, stars are visible from horizon to horizon.
The Northern Lights are an unpredictable natural phenomenon - solar activity and cloud cover determine whether they appear. This program is designed specifically to put guests in the best possible position to see them: an open sky, no light pollution, and the unusual perspective of lying flat on the water facing directly upward. When they come, the aurora appears twice - above you in the sky and below you in the water at the same time.
After the float, the group warms up with hot drinks at the lakeside before the return transfer to Levi.
