Join us for the search of northern lights in the areas around Åre. With snowshoes on our feet and in the light of headlamps, we walk into the night and pass through the snow-laden firs and experience a new dimension of the mountains. We make a fire and enjoy a light evening snack under the stars.
We pick you up at your hotel in our minivan and drive away from the light in the village and go to place where we know that it get´s really dark in the night. First we go through basic knowledge of the natural phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis and then the guide has a short tutorial on how to catch the Northern Lights on film in the best way. When we feel ready we walk together out into the night with snowshoes on our feet, searching for the magic Northern Lights.
