The North in winter — at its most striking

The Northern Lights, snowmobiling, ice fishing and snowshoeing — from November to April.

Lapland in winter is no compromise. It's the very reason why so many people come here in the first place. The lake freezes over, the forest falls silent beneath the snow, and the sky displays colours one would never have thought possible. Those who embrace it rarely visit just once.

Activities

NORTHERN LIGHTS

Our location, far away from any light pollution, makes Nordic Lakeside one of the best places in Sweden to watch the Northern Lights. From September to March — right from the lakeshore, no bus and no organised tour.

→ No booking required — just keep an eye on the sky.

SNOWMOBILE

Through snow-covered forests and across frozen lakes — snowmobiling is one of the most exhilarating winter experiences in Lapland. We can organise tours for you on request.

→ Bookable on request through us or our external partners.

ICE FISHING

A hole in the ice, a rod, silence — and sometimes a fish. Ice fishing on Lake Storavan is both meditative and exciting. Johannes will show you the best spots.

→ Bookable on request · Fishing licence required.

SNOWSHOEING

Hiking through a landscape completely transformed by snow. We hire out snowshoes on site — guided tours available on request.

Tips and seasonal offers

March is our insider tip. There's still snow everywhere, but the sun is already back — up to 16 hours of daylight a day. Snowshoeing or ice fishing by day, the Northern Lights by night. If you really want to get to know Lapland, come in March.

Winter here lasts from November to April. The best conditions for the Northern Lights are from December to March. Snowmobiling and ice fishing are possible once the ice cover is stable — typically from December onwards.
