Aurora Hiking Abisko
- Durée: 3 Heures (environ)
- Lieu: Abisko
This tour is a perfect evening activity
for those visiting Abisko during the autumn months.
We hike to
nice viewpoints in Abiskodalen and look for the northern lights if
the sky is clear, and if there is moonlight you can see one of
Sweden's most famous mountain formations, Lapporten, as a massive
silhouette in the dark and fantastic reflections in Torneträsk
before the ice has settled.
During the autumn months, big
changes take place in nature in Abisko. At the beginning of the
autumn season, the mountains burst with bright colors in red, orange
and yellow, and then the landscape becomes quite dark and barren
until the first snow falls and everything sparkles in snow and ice
crystals.
The polar night begins in autumn here
in Abisko, which means that the sun does not rise above the horizon
during the darkest months of the year. So in addition to the northern
lights, you can experience other beautiful lights in different colors
in the polar sky that only occur during the polar night, even in
daytime.
On this hike, we may use snow crampons or
snowshoes depending on how the conditions on the mountain look like
for the day, and is a decision the guide makes on the same day, just
before the tour starts.
Note that the northern lights
are a natural phenomenon and therefore something we cannot guarantee
that we will see, although there is usually a high chance that it
will occur here in Abisko.
The tours start at 20.00. The duration is approximately 3 hours. The tour includes snowshoes, hot beverages and transfers from/to your accommodation in Abisko or Björkliden.
