Abisko Aurora Viewing Guide
Abisko is widely considered the world's best place to see the northern lights. The unique 'blue hole' microclimate, created by surrounding mountains, produces clear skies more often than anywhere else in the region.
Best Time to Visit
September to March is aurora season. The blue hole phenomenon means Abisko often has clear skies when surrounding areas are cloudy. February and March offer longer twilight for photography.
Weather Conditions
The rain shadow effect creates drier, clearer conditions than nearby areas. Temperatures range from -10°C to -20°C. Snow cover from November to April.
Viewing Tips
- The Aurora Sky Station offers elevated viewing above any valley clouds
- Lake TornetrÀsk frozen surface provides vast open views
- Book several nights - even with the blue hole, weather varies
