WHY YOU´LL LOVE IT
Go where the sky looks most promising. Instead of staying at one viewing location, the driver can adjust the route during the evening.
Travel up to 50 km beyond Levi, reach open landscapes with darker skies and wider views of the northern horizon.
Benefit from local knowledge - your driver combines forecasts with what is actually happening outside: cloud movement, wind, visibility and conditions in different areas around Levi.
Stay warm between viewing stops - return to the heated vehicle after watching the sky outside, particularly valuable on very cold Arctic nights.
Easy for families and all ages - no driving licence, special skills or physical activity are required.

Reading the Sky - How Local Arctic Weather Knowledge Finds the Northern Lights
Cloudy skies do not automatically rule out a sighting. Cloud layers vary in thickness, and wind can shift the cover quickly. On many evenings that look overcast from the village, gaps open up at the right moment in the right direction. This is what local knowledge is for. The driver has seen enough Lapland nights to read the sky, not just the forecast.
That said, the northern lights cannot be guaranteed on any tour, anywhere in Lapland. What this tour offers is a better position and a driver who knows how to find it.
