Northern Lights in Norway

Norway is one of the world’s most spectacular places to witness the Aurora Borealis. Stretching deep into the Arctic Circle, the country’s dramatic fjords, snow-covered mountains and picturesque fishing villages provide an unforgettable backdrop as ribbons of green, purple and pink light dance across the night sky.

From the vibrant Arctic city of Tromsø to the stunning Lofoten Islands, the remote Lyngen Alps and the rugged landscapes of North Cape, Norway offers countless opportunities to experience this natural wonder. Whether you choose to stay in a cosy waterfront cabin, join a Northern Lights safari, travel with huskies through the snow or watch the aurora from the deck of a Hurtigruten coastal voyage, every evening brings the possibility of an extraordinary display.

With excellent infrastructure, comfortable accommodation and a wide range of winter activities, Norway is one of the best destinations for first-time aurora hunters and seasoned Arctic travellers alike. Between September and March, when the nights are long and the skies are at their darkest, you’ll have the perfect chance to create memories that will last a lifetime.
