For many people, witnessing the northern lights is on the list of magical moments not to be missed under any circumstances. The auroras are visible everywhere in the surroundings, but for an unforgettable experience, you need a place as free from light pollution as possible.

You can enjoy a luxury stay in one of the bungalows equipped with a glass roof, with the sky right above your bed, and wait comfortably warm for the auroras to arrive.
