Local tip

If you're staying in Björkliden on a clear night, skip the crowded aurora tours and walk just a few minutes away from the lodge to Låktatjåkka viewpoint or the nearby frozen lake. Locals know these spots offer some of the best, unobstructed views of the Northern Lights, far from light pollution.
