Escape to the heart of Swedish Lapland on this four-night short break, ideal for those eager to hunt the northern lights. Fly north, past the Arctic Circle to the town of Kiruna - the gateway to Abisko National Park - one of the top-rated northern lights destinations in the world!
Explore the region by travelling on the Arctic Circle Train into the heart of the national park where you'll spend the evenings as an aurora chaser at both the world-famous Aurora Sky Station and by snowshoe.
Abisko is located directly under the Aurora Oval and is in one of the driest climates in all of the Nordic region - two factors which combine to offer fantastic conditions for witnessing an incredible northern lights show.
Fly from the UK to the Kiruna, the northern-most town in Sweden, and transfer to the hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure.
Journey from Kiruna to Abisko National Park on the scenic Arctic Circle Train bound for Narvik, Norway. Travel just half of the rail route, alighting in Abisko National Park for a two-night stay in the world's top destination for aurora hunting. Tonight, bundle up and take the chair-lift to Aurora Sky Station to enjoy an exclusive 3-course Nordic inspired dinner while you wait for the northern lights to appear. (B,L,D)
