When to visit Swedish Lapland

December through to mid April is peak season for Northern Lights.

We can organise departures on most days of the week. Costwise Friday and Sunday departures works out best. For planning purposes a 3 night break is the average length of break to Kiruna. We would always recommend an active programme for longer stays. If you plan to stay at the Ice Hotel this is better value on Monday - Wednesday nights.
