Welcome to Aurora Holidays
These cottages are not only perfect from an accommodation perspective but they are also perfect from northern lights chaser’s perspective. If you are looking for a place where you can disconnect from the busy city life, traffic and noise – you have found the right place.
These cottages are proper Finnish high quality cottages, equipped with everything you will need including your own sauna to warm up after a cold night chasing the lights or just to enjoy the relaxing feeling and sit on the porch in the summer, watching the river shimmering under the midnight sun.
The cottages are really fresh and clean, because they are quite new and well maintained. We do not allow animals or smoking inside – we want to make sure that everyone, also allergic people, can stay in our cottages.
The cottages are located on the northernmost road in Finland, between the villages of Utsjoki and Nuorgam. This is one of the most beautiful roads in Finland.
The cottages face directly north. It means that you can watch auroras from your window, the terrace or the yard, all night long if you like. Even if aurora activity is quite low, which means auroras will not be directly overhead, they will be on the northern horizon. They really give you the absolute best chances of seeing the northern lights. So even when you are not with a guide, we want to maximise your chances with this excellent location. You can check what is happening in the sky any time.
In the spring, this is a very good location for bird watching, there is nice locations nearby like Varangerfjord and Kaamanen, where you can spot many different birds. You can be lucky to see Pine grosbeaks, Siberian Jays, Siberian tits, White-tailed eagles, Steller's eiders, Purple sandpipers and many more.
