Enjoy an evening snowmobiling under the starry Arctic sky and try your luck in hunting down the infamous Northern Lights! This 2-hour tour will take you out of the city and around the whole backcountry of Björliden and Abisko, around lake Tornesträk, and up above the treeline for an optimized search for the aurora.

With a maximum of 8 people per tour, this experience remains intimate, allowing for a more personal rapport with the guide. We also restrict the number of children to a maximum of 1 per adult.

At the beginning of the tour, the guide will provide you with all the equipment necessary to drive the snowmobile and to keep you safe and warm. They will then show you how to drive your snowmobile, as well as some signaling gestures.

Once everyone is ready, you will set off into the night on your tour. The precise route will be decided depending on the weather, wind, and aurora forecast. Enjoy gliding through the snow in near-total darkness, as your headlights light the path ahead of you. Along the way, you will take a break to enjoy sweet snacks and hot drinks around a crackling fire. But don't forget to look above, the Arctic serves some of the brightest and most beautiful night skies in the world. With some luck, you'll witness the breathtaking beauty of the Northern Lights!

However, since it is a natural phenomenon, we cannot guarantee its appearance during the activity. But since the night will still be young when we return to town, your guide will make sure to let you know where they are most likely to appear, so you can continue your search later!

This activity was fantastic! We got to drive our own snowmobile through the arctic in the search of the Northern lights. Although we did not see them on the tour our guide Martina was great. She did what she could to take us to all the best spots. She even told us about the orange pine tree and if you hug it it will bring you luck in seeing the auroras. And soon after we got back after the tour the weather changed and we were able to see them at the Abisko Mountain Lodge. Not saying it was the tree. But I'm not saying it wasn't. 5 stars!

The night sky snowmobiling tour was a lot of fun, although after the fact I question the environmental wisdom of taking such a tour for pure fun, as there was so e noise and emissions pollution. We were a small-ish group of only 5 snowmobiles, so it was manageable, but we did see other groups during our stay that were much larger.

Excursion extraordinaire dans la région d’Abisko, nous nous sommes promenés à travers les lacs gelés et les forêts, nous avons fait une pause avec une boisson chaude offerte autour d’un feu pendant que nous regardions les aurores boréales
