Northern Lights Sleigh Ride

About this experience

Northern Lights Sleigh Ride Tickets This Northern Lights sleigh ride takes you deep into the Finnish wilderness around Rovaniemi, away from city lights to maximise your chances of spotting the Aurora Borealis. You'll travel through snow-covered forests on a snowmobile-pulled sleigh, reaching remote frozen lakes where the night sky opens up completely above you. Your local guide knows exactly where to position you for the best viewing opportunities, though the Aurora depends entirely on weather conditions and solar activity. Even without the lights, you'll experience the profound silence of the Arctic night, surrounded by pristine snow and endless stars. The tour includes hotel pickup within 15km of Rovaniemi centre, all winter gear, and warming refreshments by an open fire.

Your guide will collect you from your accommodation within 15km of Rovaniemi centre at the arranged time. Wear warm base layers as you'll be provided with winter overalls, insulated boots and gloves for the cold conditions. The sleigh ride typically lasts several hours, including travel time to the remote viewing location and waiting time for potential Aurora activity. Bring a camera with good low-light capabilities to capture any Northern Lights you might see. Remember that Aurora sightings cannot be guaranteed as they depend entirely on weather conditions and solar activity. While in Rovaniemi, you might also want to explore other Arctic experiences like visiting a traditional reindeer farm or taking a snowmobile adventure through the Lapland wilderness. The city offers plenty of winter activities beyond Aurora hunting.
