Northern lights over log cabin during autumn night hike in Abisko

Night sky autumn adventure

When the polar night begins to set in, Abisko becomes a glowing world of stars, snow, and silence. Join our certified Outback Abisko guides on an evening adventure through birch forest and up to panoramic ridges – with stories, snacks, and maybe even the northern lights.

After pickup from your hotel, we hike into the autumn night – on foot or snowshoes depending on weather.

The hike goes up through the birch forest until we reach the bare mountain. Up here we have good views in all directions. To brighten the evening, we set up a smorgasbord with both genuine stories and traditional local tasting samples

Please dress warm! We are spending the evening outdoors, though we will have a cozy campfire.

* The Northern Lights is a natural phenomenon, thus we cannot guarantee that you will see it during your trip.

If we feel uncertain about the evening depending on the weather conditions, we offer an exclusive workshop with lectures, films and a Sami language lesson inside our waiting aurora room. You will learn an incredible amount about polar nights and arctic life. Of course, we break up as soon as the sky appears.
