Norway Northern Lights Holidays
With its soaring mountains, sheer-sided fjords and endless dark skies, the north of Norway is a beautifully dramatic destination to go searching for the northern lights. It also has an enviable reputation for sightings.
Boasting both the northernmost city in the world and mainland Europe’s northernmost point, your aurora quest in Norway can be paired with geographic bragging rights.
Where to see the Northern Lights in Norway
- At 68 degrees, high above the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten Islands provide a dramatic back drop for the northern lights, with glacier-carved peaks and narrow inlets, dotted with picturesque fishing villages.
- Venture to Finnmark, Norway’s northernmost county, by coastal cruise. You’ll voyage along the rugged west coast all the way up to the North Cape. At night huge vistas from the decks provide the canvas for often spectacular aurora displays dancing above a dramatic landscape of mountains and islands.
- The bustling city of Tromso is a popular winter break destination, however we highly recommend joining an escorted northern lights hunt to take you well away from the city lights. Alternatively, team Tromso with Spitsbergen, the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago, for a true taste of the Arctic!
- To the south of Tromso lies Malangen Resort, a stylish property located on the shores of a fjord and surrounded by wilderness. With a host of activities to entertain during the day, the nights can be spent gazing skyward.
