THE NORTHERN LIGHTS!

Harstad is the perfect place to view the Northern Lights. The beautiful veil that dances across the night sky will leave you overwhelmed – whether you visit one of our many popular Aurora Spots or seeing the Northern Lights from your hotel window when gazing out over the majestic archipelago.

The season for the Northern Lights ranges from October to March. When there are cold clear nights - there is a good chance to see the Aurora! 

It is important to note that this phenomenon is completely steered by nature herself. That is why we recommend to set aside a few days for observing the Northern Lights, since observing the Northern Lights coincides with patience.
