Reading the Sky - How Local Arctic Weather Knowledge Finds the Northern Lights
Cloudy weather does not automatically mean there is no chance of seeing the aurora. Cloud layers can be thin or broken, and wind may move the cover quickly. On many evenings that seem overcast from the village, clear gaps appear at the right time and in the right direction. This is where local knowledge matters. The driver has spent enough nights under the Lapland sky to read the conditions, not only the forecast.
Northern lights still cannot be guaranteed on any tour, anywhere in Lapland. What this tour gives you is a better viewing position and a driver who knows how to look for it.
How the Aurora Search Works: Pickup, Route and Stops
- Pickup from your accommodation in Levi, the driver comes to you
- The vehicle heads out of the village into open terrain, making stops at the best viewing spots on the night
- During a stopover, warm berry juice and gingerbread cookies are served
- The tour returns to Levi after approximately two hours
Who This Is For

- Guests staying in Levi who want to get beyond the village lights without their own transport
- Families, couples and small groups: all ages, no physical requirements
