Come along on the search for the Northern Lights and enjoy a true winter experience. In the northern hemisphere, in the so-called Aurora oval, Northern Lights can be seen almost every clear night. In Sweden the Aurora oval usually at Kiruna's latitude, so the chances to see the Northern Lights are probably the best in the world.
As a matter of fact, this might be the best place in the world to see the Northern lights. ICEHOTEL offers guided Northern light tours by bus to its guests, every night at 11 pm. The tours can only be booked on site and will take you to the closest spot with best Northern lights forecast.
As of 2012 ICEHOTEL collaborates together with STF Abisko Tourist Station to offer Northern lights package deals in autumn. The solar activity, which causes the Northern lights, reaches its peak this year so an impressive show can be expected over the next couple of years. The autumn glow and Northern lights in one show.
The Northern Lights appears on the clear night sky as veils of greenish blue light.

Take a horse ride in the winter evening and if you're lucky, the Northern lights might be dancing above the treetops.
