02, March 2015: Lonely Planet, the world’s most successful travel publisher recently rated Abisko as the best place on the planet to see the phenomenon of the Northern Lights. Trips to this rural Swedish town are becoming more and more popular for those chasing a sighting of the Aurora Borealis and the experience of visiting the renowned Sky Station. There seems to be no argument from the experts that Abisko is the place to go.

Abisko and the Northern Lights

Well-respected tour company Weekend a-la-Carte Aurora Nights is the leading operator for Northern Lights trips, and in fact were the first to offer Northern Lights trips to Abisko. They've extolled the virtues of Abisko for over 10 years, and they offer several packages that take in a stay in the Abisko Mountain Lodge and visits to the Sky Station.

The Weekend a-la-Carte Aurora Nights Abisko 3-day package is ideal for the serious Northern Lights hunter, offering a prime opportunity to experience the lights in in one of the best vantages on Earth. Keen amateur photographers can join a "Lights Over Lapland" professional photographer and head out into the wilds of the Abisko National Park.
