Dusk falls over a low Arctic horizon and the pines darken into silhouettes as you settle into a wooden sledge, the soft thrum of a snowmobile pulling you deeper into the forest. Snow compresses under runners, breath mists in the lamp light, and every turn opens a new frame of quiet: frost-coated branches, a distant riverline, and a sky wide enough to host the aurora.

Dress in moisture‑wicking layers
Temperatures plunge quickly after sunset—wear base layers, insulating mid‑layers, and a windproof outer layer rather than a single heavy coat.
Protect your camera batteries
Cold drains batteries fast—carry spares in an inside pocket and use a compact tripod for steady aurora shots.
Health considerations
Not recommended for those with serious heart conditions—inform guides of any concerns before departure.
Keep lighting low
Use red or dim lights at stops so your eyes stay adapted for aurora viewing and to reduce disturbance to wildlife.
Insulated winter boots
Warm, waterproof boots keep you comfortable during stops and when boarding the sledge.
