Northern Lights, Luosto

 Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)
 Far up in the north of Lapland, the majestic Northern Lights can be seen flickering on the arctic firmament on no

 fewer than 200 nights a year. The Luosto region, where snow is a certainty each winter, is one of the best in the

 world for observing the Northern Lights. The Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory not far away has roots dating

 back to the 1880s and is known internationally for its research. The Lights are visible at Luosto from the end of

 August to the middle of April.

 

 The glowing green arc spanning the sky from east to west usually appears in Finland just before midnight, by which

 time the sky is sufficiently dark. As the night draws on, the lights may become so bright that they cast shadows on

 the ground. The most breath-taking of all is when they begin their rapid dance. The lucky observer may be witness

 to the most beautiful configuration of all, the crown or corona, in which the dancing rays seem to spring from a single

 overhead source and the whole sky is bathed in light.
 

  Luosto - show on Google Maps ™

 

At Luosto you are in the middle of Lapland. You can enjoy all the services of a modern fell centre yet still be truly out in pristine wilderness.

 

Luosto has seven ski slopes and three lifts, along with the other facilities required by skiers. It has well-managed ski trails totaling 74 kilometers, 25 kilometers of which are lit. There are also marked trails

for summer hikers in the region. The new Pyhä-Luosto National Park will enhance the hiking potential even further. read more...
