We spend our first night in
comfortable chalets, where we meet our  guide who will brief us about
the coming days. We have a morning to explore Abisko and practice
walking on our snowshoes before we take an exciting 35km snowmobile
transfer out into the wilderness to our simple, but cosy, mountain
cabins on the shore of frozen Lake Alesjaure; our base for the next 2
nights.  High in the still white wilderness, away from civilisation,
there is no light pollution to disturb our Aurora watching. With the
dark nights and the area's favourable climate on our side, if the solar
activity is good, you have a fantastic chance of seeing the Northern
Lights from here. Not only are we in the prime location for Aurora
spotting, this is also one most celebrated mountain areas in Swedish
Lapland. During the days we wrap up warm and head out with our guide to
investigate the pristine white landscape, we may even be able to track
some of the area's wildlife. After a day out exploring in the snow we
will be invited to warm up the Swedish way in the traditional wood
sauna, before settling in for another evening of watching the night sky;
we should have our warm clothes near by and be ready to run outside at
any opportunity! After two nights at the hut we return to Abisko and
have an evening free to relax before a day of optional activities with
dog sledding, ice climbing or Nordic skiing on offer; those seeking
another chance to see the lights may opt to visit the Aurora Sky
Station. An excellent way to round off this winter adventure!
