“We were blessed with sunny clear weather for all days – culminating in a wonderfully strong dancing display of northern lights in Abisko. Amazing!”

See the Northern Lights with Aurora Borealis Abisko Break Helpful Information

There are few parts of Lapland that posses the majesty of Abisko. Surrounded by mountains and Lakes the drama of the landscape fires the imagination.

And it is not only this that lures people. Abisko is blessed with a very unique climate with a very high percentage of clear nights. This makes it the best place in Europe, and many argue in the world, to see the Northern Lights.

Weekend a la Carte pioneered the opening of Abisko Sky Station for dinner and northern lights viewing and after many requests we now offer this break based at Abisko Mountain Lodge - allowing those clients who want to really maximise their opportunities of seeing the Northern Lights to do so.
