There has been a lot happening behind the scenes at Lights Over Lapland recently.
In just the last three weeks, a record breaking 10 (!!) Private Aurora Escapes have been booked for the upcoming season. And while there is still time before autumn and winter arrives, we’re already starting to see booking pressure build around some of our most popular dates.
If you’ve been reading headlines about Solar Maximum coming to an end, you might be wondering if you’ve missed your chance to see the Northern Lights.
The short answer?
Not even close.
Some places are just easy to settle into and we believe the Abisko Panorama House is one of them.
This autumn, we’re excited to introduce the Panorama House as a new accommodation option for our Autumn Anytime Aurora Adventure along with its winter version; the Anytime Aurora Adventure. And honestly, it might be one of the coziest ways to experience Abisko.
We’re incredibly excited to share that Lights Over Lapland has once again received Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award for 2026!
Every year, this award is given to businesses that consistently receive outstanding reviews and ratings from travelers around the world. Which means this recognition doesn’t come from a panel of judges or a marketing campaign: it comes directly from our guests.
Autumn in Abisko National Park marks the beginning of the northern lights season in Sweden. The landscapes shift, the skies grow darker, and the first auroras in Abisko begin to return which is often reflected in the still, unfrozen waters of Lake Torneträsk.
It’s also one of the most comfortable times of year for northern lights holidays in Abisko, offering a rare balance of milder temperatures and excellent viewing conditions.
With this in mind, we’ve refined our Autumn Anytime Aurora Adventure to offer something even more valuable: a more flexible way to experience autumn in Abisko.
That’s a bold statement. We know.
There are plenty of aurora tours in Lapland. If you search “Northern Lights tour Abisko,” you’ll find no shortage of options promising clear skies, magical displays, and unforgettable memories.
So what actually makes one tour better than another?
Still dreaming of seeing the northern lights this winter? Even though many of our holiday packages are sold out, there is still a way to experience the magic. The Anytime Aurora Adventure is our most flexible northern lights holiday — built around your dates, your pace, and your Arctic dreams. Read on to discover how you can still book an unforgettable aurora experience in Abisko this season.
As the year draws to a close, we’re ending it with a milestone we never expected to reach this quickly. Lights Over Lapland now has 2,000 TripAdvisor reviews, more than every other tour operator in Abisko combined, and we’re still proudly sitting at the #1 ranked experience in the region!
Not bad for a company that started with a couple of headlamps, a thermos, and a very optimistic view of Arctic weather.
We’re proud to be the only activity tour company in Abisko with a full admin team working year-round. That’s five people, including our founders, Chad and Linnea, who keep the lights on (pun fully intended) even when the midnight sun has replaced the Northern Lights.
If you’ve been dreaming of seeing the Northern Lights, stop waiting for “someday.” Because right now (or rather, this season) might be one of the best chances you’ll ever get.
Scientists are predicting something special on the horizon: a double peak in solar activity. In plain English, that means not one, but two bursts of aurora-producing power over the next couple of years. And that’s fantastic news for anyone heading to Abisko.
