About

A night in Aurora Tepee is a unique way to experience the nature. The comfortable Tepee is a perfect place to enjoy the magical scenery with northern lights in fall and winter, and summer nights with amazing midnight sun.

From the comfort of our heated facility, the Tepee´s allows visitors the time and ease to await for the legendary light show to begin. We'd like to remind you that the Northern Lights are not on a clock schedule and we can't necessarily predict this natural phenomenon so just relax.

But even if the northern lights do not show up, you can see a stunning starry sky, shooting stars and occasionally ISS, the International Space Station or satellites passing by.

The Tepee's have comfortable beds for two and electric heating.

No tap water and no WC, but there is a heated outhouse just outside to the Aurora Tepee.
