Northern Lights

Northern lights are a natural phenomena and there are several websites showing the likelihood of their presence depending on your travel time. There are also smartphone apps available giving you a push-notification when present. https://aurorareach.com/places/fi/kemijarvi/times

When present, they are usually visible from the porch of the cabin, but for a better view especially for photography we recommend to visit areas with low light pollution and good visibility, such as Räisälä Lossi which has an ice road during the winter. Second place is Joutsenjänkä on the road named Peräojantie.

Aurora season in Lapland runs from late August to early April, and during the peak months of December to March guests staying a full week typically see northern lights on 3–4 nights though nature doesn't give guarantees. Even in October, November and April you still have good chances whenever the nights are clear. Only the summer months fall outside aurora season, as the midnight sun makes the sky too bright. Whenever the nights are dark.
