Northern Lights Snowmobile Excursion in Brändön, near Luleå

Dive into the velvety Arctic night and go searching for one of the Planet's most incredible and magical phenomena on this amazing Northern Lights snowmobile excursion in Brändön, near Luleå! Swedish Lapland is within the Arctic Circle, which makes it one of the best places on Earth to observe the beautiful aurora borealis, not just because of its strategic location, but also because its wide expanses of untouched wilderness, away from the artificial lights of the city, are perfect to improve visibility of the phenomenon. Brändön is located 35 minutes north of Luleå, in eastern Swedish Lapland, on the edge of the Bothnian Sea. This small locality welcomes visitors from around the world with incredible winter activities such as snowshoeing, dog sledding, and, of course, Northern Lights searches in all their different forms.

On the day of your snowmobile excursion in Brändön, near Luleå, you'll need to arrive at the Brändön Lodge at least 30 minutes before the start of the experience (you'll find free parking on-site, or you can contact your instructor for pick-up options in Luleå). There, you'll meet your instructor, who will welcome you to the lodge and explain the itinerary for the night, as well as a few safety rules to follow in order to have a good time. Finally, they will distribute the snowmobile suits, boots, socks, hats, gloves, hood, helmet, and snowmobiles so you can put everything on and prepare for the freezing temperatures of the Arctic, as well as get acquainted with the vehicle.

Once you're ready and on the snowmobile, you'll set off! You'll ride this specially designed, powerful vehicle through the pristine snow of Swedish Lapland, following your expert instructor to the best places to observe the Northern Lights, which they know like the back of their hand. You'll make stops along the way to rest and set your eyes on the sky to search for the colourful, dancing lights that usually appear there. The further away you get from the city, the more chances you'll have to observe the aurora; however, since the Northern Lights are a natural and completely unpredictable phenomenon, your instructor can't guarantee that you will see them, though they will try their best to take you to the places where they are usually visible. If and when you find them, you'll be able to take wonderful pictures to keep the memory forever.

Please note that to drive a snowmobile, you must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's license, which you will need to bring on the adventure. You should also bring very warm layers to wear under the suits your instructor will lend you, including wool or thermal underwear, extra layers on top, and even a wind and waterproof jacket that you can wear under the suit if it's really cold outside. You should also bring a hat, scarf, gloves, snacks, and anything else you might need (medicine, glasses, etc.) to spend an amazing 2.5 hours on this Northern Lights snowmobile excursion in Brändön!
