Northern Lights – Solar Maximum

Solar Maximum, maximise your chances of seeing the Northern Lights!

As the winter season approaches, the forecast is looking bright for astronomy enthusiasts and winter enthusiasts alike. The expected Solar Maximum is all set to illuminate the night sky with breathtaking displays of Northern Lights. Swedish Lapland is the ideal destination to witness this cosmic spectacle. The Solar Maximum is expected to occur during the winter season of 2024-2025. A rare phenomenon that happens when the Sun’s magnetic field is at its strongest, causing particles to be ejected towards the Earth, resulting in spectacular displays of the Northern Lights. The last Solar Maximum took place in 2013, making this a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Swedish Lapland

For those planning to visit Swedish Lapland, this is an opportunity not to be missed! The region is known for its immersive winter landscapes, snow-covered forests, and frozen lakes. And with the Solar Maximum expected to bring increased activity to the Northern Lights, visitors can expect a visual feast of swirling colors and patterns in the night sky. Imagine witnessing the aurora borealis dance across the sky, with swirling curtains of green, blue, and purple hues painting the night canvas.

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness nature’s greatest light show. Our expert guides will take you on excursions to the best viewing spots, and we will ensure that you have an unforgettable winter experience,” says the team at Luleå Travel. “We can’t wait to share this extraordinary phenomenon with our guests and create memories that will last a lifetime.”

We offer a range of winter activities and packages that cater to all interests and ages. From dog sledding and snowmobile tours to icebreaker cruises and snowshoeing, there’s something for everyone in this winter wonderland. And with the Solar Maximum expected to coincide with the festive season, visitors can enjoy a magical winter holiday experience like no other.

Don’t miss this chance to experience the Solar Maximum in Swedish Lapland. Book your winter holiday with Luleå Travel today and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!

With this Northern Lights holiday you will chase the magical Aurora almost every evening. This package also includes a guided tour for you to visit the Kiruna’s landmark ICEHOTEL and meet reindeers in a Sami open air museum.

Swedish Lapland

Swedish Lapland is Sweden’s northernmost destination. It is the perfect place to experience natural contrasts unlike any other. It is naturally isolated from the rest of the world, being sparsely populated and having its natural openness. About a quarter of a million people, 2.6 % of Sweden’s population live here, resulting in a density of approx. 3 persons/km2. Besides, Swedish Lapland’s tradition and Sámi culture are still very much alive, entwined with reindeers. Some parts of Swedish Lapland have more sled dogs than inhabitants. Swedish Lapland is located within the Aurora oval and barely has any light pollution, the region therefore offers great opportunities to see the magical northern lights!
