Northern Lights with Snowshoe

Experience the Northern lights with our snowshoe tours

Describing the Northern Lights is a challenge even for the most eloquent. Words like spectacular, fascinating, amazing, unique, unforgettable, and inexpressible all come to mind, yet none truly capture the awe-inspiring nature of this phenomenon. Witnessing the Northern Lights is an experience that should undoubtedly be on everyone's bucket list.

There are many ways to experience this natural firework display in the sky, but traversing the snow-covered backcountry of Lofoten beneath the glowing, otherworldly dance of the aurora is a unique opportunity made possible through snowshoeing with Northern Explorer.

The adventure begins at 20:00. As the sun sets and darkness envelops the landscape, we set off on a peaceful walk through the serene snow-covered terrain.
