About the activity

Take your chance to see one of nature's most incredible phenomena with an expert who will help you take the best pictures to remember it, and drive you around to the best spots to find it on this Northern Lights chase by car from Ylläsjärvi! From September to April every year, Finnish Lapland is an intermittent witness to the dancing lights in the sky. The aurora borealis is the result of the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and charged particles from the sun that enter the atmosphere, which produces green, blue, pink, and purple lights across the sky only in the northern hemisphere.

On the day of your Northern Lights chase by car from Ylläsjärvi, you'll have the option to be picked up from your accommodations in Ylläsjärvi or, if you are in a big group, as far as Äkäslompolo. If you are staying further away and have your own car or wish to arrive by bus or on foot, you can do so as well. Your group will arrive at the North Wind Lapland headquarters, meet the expert instructor who will lead the activity, and receive winter clothing to stay warm throughout the experience.

Once you're all geared up, it's time to go! You'll hop on an 8-seater van with your instructor and start your 4-hour, maximum 200-kilometer adventure to find the aurora borealis. You'll dive into the Lappish wilderness and search for the perfect places with clear skies so you can see the lights. If and once you find them, your instructor will help you take the best and most beautiful photos so you can remember the experience forever. You'll also get to take a short break on your Northern Lights chase from Ylläsjärvi to have a nice warm drink and biscuit to keep your strength up.

Keep in mind that the aurora borealis is a natural phenomenon, so even though your instructors at North Wind Lapland are experts at the search and will prepare in advance to find the best date and time to find the beautiful lights in the sky, they can never guarantee that you'll see them. That said, all you have to do is prepare by wearing warm under layers of clothing to stay warm, and bring anything you may need (medications, water, etc.) to spend around 4 hours on this amazing Northern Lights chase by car from Ylläsjärvi!

Don't miss out on a comfortable, fun, and mesmerizing experience out in Finnish Lapland, with an expert who will help you remember the experience forever. Book your Northern Lights chase by car from Ylläsjärvi today!
