  • What are the Northern Lights?:

    and the NORTHERN LIGHTS

    Porjus is a village in Swedish Lapland, the northern part of Sweden. This is the place where Northern Lights are most frequently seen and are at their best. With just a little more than 400 inhabitants, Porjus is a small village. Being small like that, there is little artificial light. So it gets dark, very dark. The ideal place for experiencing one of the most impressive, natural light spectacles on earth:to see the Northern Lights! No expensive tours needed, it's just outside your apartment door! In the heart of Lapland.....

We are working together to share this wonderful phenomenon to everyone who wants to see the northern lights for themselves and make your experience one of the most remembering ever. No heaps of tourists here, just you and the nature around you.
