Aurora Borealis in the polar regions – pure nature holidays!

The colourful northern lights can be observed around the poles in the cold regions of our planet. A trip to these locations offers the best opportunity to witness this natural spectacle and also allows you to spend your holiday in a unique, snow-covered winter landscape. Northern Scandinavia, Canada and Alaska are particularly ideal for a dream trip to see the beautiful Northern Lights. There is a wide range of unique activities and wellness offers here. The best way to spend the day is on a dog sled tour to experience Lapland at its most beautiful. The most beautiful way to spend the night is to marvel at the dance of the breathtaking Northern Lights.

Northern Lights holidays: The ideal time to travel for viewing the Aurora Borealis

The time of year you travel is also important when it comes to observing the Northern Lights. Solar winds, which are responsible for this phenomenon, collide with the Earth's magnetic field throughout the year. The exchange of energy between charged particles and atoms in the Earth's atmosphere also takes place at all times. This means that even in summer, there is a very special light show high up in the sky. Unfortunately, it is difficult to observe because it is simply too bright at this time of year to see the glow. Only in the winter months is the necessary darkness present. Aurora Borealis appears between September and April, with a slight increase in intensity during the winter months of December, January, February and March, depending on the source and study.

In the northern lights ovals, which extend across the polar regions of the northern and southern hemispheres, the phenomenon occurs almost daily. The dancing lights can occur at any time of day, but here too, it must be dark enough to see the aurora borealis. The main prerequisite for a breathtaking show during your northern lights holidays is clear weather conditions. If the night sky is covered with thick clouds, the view of the Northern Lights will be blocked, so you should allow plenty of time for your trip. However, don't despair too quickly if the sky is overcast and give up the search, because the clouds can move on quickly and, with a little luck, the spectacle will already be in full swing. As a general rule, the longer you travel, the higher your chances of seeing the Northern Lights.
