Northern lights tours in Rovaniemi

Four evening tours around Rovaniemi start from the chalets, each a different way to go looking for the aurora: a forecast-led hunt that drives as far as the clear sky is, a shorter campfire evening, a night on a snowmobile, and a snowshoe walk to a hilltop camp. From €129 per person, with pick-up at your door.

Only one night to spare, or you want the best odds? Take the hunt. Would rather be doing something while you wait for the sky? The snowmobile night or the snowshoe walk. A gentle first look after dinner: the campfire evening.

Questions

Which tour has the northern lights guarantee?

The aurora hunt. If no aurora is seen with the naked eye or caught on the guide's camera, you choose a free second tour or a 75% refund. The other evenings go where the forecast is best, but can't promise the sky.

Can we watch from the chalet instead?

Yes, and many guests do: every chalet has a panoramic window facing north. The tours help when it's cloudy over Ollerovaara but clear somewhere else.

Can we have the tour to ourselves?

Every evening can be booked privately; the private prices are shown with each tour.

The aurora hunt: €179 per adult; Campfire evening: €129 per adult, €109 per child (3–14); Snowmobile night: €189 per adult, €139 per child (3–14); Snowshoe walk to a hilltop camp: €139 per adult, €99 per child (3–14). Prices for a private group of your own are listed with each day out.

Is pick-up from the chalet included?

Yes. We pick you up at your chalet at Ollerovaara, about ten minutes from Rovaniemi centre, and bring you back afterwards.
