Lapland and the Arctic ocean, Saariselkä, Small Group

EXCELLENT PLACE TO SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

Saariselkä is located in the polar zone where, according to the statistics, the Northern Lights are visible 200 days of the year in the active season (September to April). This means they are highly likely to appear during your visit. The only thing that might prevent you from seeing them is cloudy weather. However, the chances of a cloudless night within the week are pretty good.
