Two Unique Ways to Experience Aurora in Rovaniemi: Campfire Adventure or Cozy Cottage Charm?
Planning a northern lights safari in Rovaniemi and wondering whether to choose a rustic evening by the fire or a cozy night in a Christmas-themed cottage? Both options offer unforgettable ways to experience the aurora but they each have their own unique atmosphere. Let’s take a closer look at two of our most magical experiences — the Northern Lights Tour in Atmospheric Cottage and the Northern Lights Tour At The Campfire, so you can decide which suits your dream Lapland adventure.

Northern Lights Tour in Atmospheric Cottage – Cozy, Magical, by the Lake
This northern lights activity takes place in a +100-year-old Finnish cabin by a serene lakeside. Inside the decorated Christmas-themed cottage, you’ll find cozy seating, warm lighting and local stories shared by your guide. Outside, a campfire crackles offering a second vantage point for aurora watching. When conditions allow, you can also take a peaceful walk on the frozen lake, a truly serene and unforgettable way to take in the Arctic silence and watch the sky above. And for families, a special touch: small surprise gifts tucked under the Christmas tree for children. For those looking for a more comfortable and family-friendly option.
Northern Lights Tour At The Campfire – Authentic, Adventurous, Under the Stars
Our aurora campfire tour is designed for those seeking an authentic, nature-focused evening under the Arctic sky. This experience takes place around a crackling campfire inside a traditional Lappish teepee tent, offering shelter from the cold while keeping you close to the wild. It’s a minimalistic and adventurous evening that strips away distractions, allowing you to fully connect with nature and the northern sky.
Which Northern Lights Safari Is Right for You?
Both experiences include a warm campfire, light snacks and hot drinks to keep you cozy while you wait for the auroras to appear. A local guide will share fascinating stories about the Northern Lights and Lapland’s cultural heritage during both tours.
- Choose the Northern Lights Tour At The Campfire if you dream of an authentic, nature-immersed night under the stars, surrounded by the quiet wilderness.
- Choose the Northern Lights Tour in Atmospheric Cottage if you prefer a warm, cozy, and festive setting, perfect for families or anyone looking for little bit more comfort.
