Northern Lights dinner
Activity facts
Duration: 4 hours
Suitable for: Everyone
Gather at: Meeting Point
Enjoy a northern lights tour combined with a wilderness dinner - inspired by the best seasonal ingredients autumn has to offer.
On this northern lights experience, you will keep your eyes open for the Aurora while having a taste of the seasonal delicacies. Together with a tour guide, a minivan will take you to a secluded wilderness camp, free from any kind of artificial light.
The Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis, is a natural phenomenon that appears during special weather conditions in the Arctic region, and Jukkasjärvi is scientifically proven to be one of the best places in the world to catch a glimpse of it. When you have arrived to the camp you will enjoy a warm aperitif in front of the fire and the guide will tell you about the myths and legends of the northern lights and what causes it to occur. During the evening the guide will serve a three-course dinner inside a warm cottage where the menu is inspired by nature and the ingredients we have around us.
Hopefully, you also get to see the northern lights dancing in the sky since autumn is said to be one of the best periods of the year to spot really intense Northern Lights.
The tour is carried out by car and a short walk to the camp.
The Northern Lights Dinner is available from September to November.
