South & West
Northern Lights Escape
Chase the aurora from remote cabins, soak in hot springs and explore ice caves by day.
Overview
Six winter days built around one goal: standing under a sky full of green light, with a hot drink in your hand.
We base ourselves in remote countryside cabins far from city glow and keep the evenings free for aurora hunting. Days bring frozen waterfalls, black beaches in winter light and a guided walk into a natural ice cave.
