Can you see the northern lights from the Icehotel?

Staying in a snow hotel gives you the perfect opportunity to hunt the northern lights. Most Nordic ice hotels are located within the Arctic Circle, in areas of relatively remote wilderness. This means they have little light pollution and are perfectly situated for witnessing the aurora borealis.

The best time to see the Northern Lights is on clear nights around midnight during the Aurora season starting at the end of August and finishing by mid-April. However, if you are at a lower latitude and there is a big solar storm, you can enjoy the Aurora even during the summer months, like June or July.
