Your Stay at ELK Aurora Lodge<\/h2>\n

Northern Lights Viewing from the Lodge Grounds<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Enjoy the Northern Lights without having to join expensive optional tours or spend long hours travelling and waiting outdoors in freezing temperatures.
\nELK Aurora Lodge is located in a quiet area with very little artificial light. When conditions are right, the Northern Lights can be seen from the lodge grounds.
\nRelax in the warmth of your room as you wait for the aurora to appear, then simply step outside when the lights begin to dance across the sky. Being able to enjoy the Northern Lights at your own pace, without travelling far from the lodge, is one of the unique attractions of staying here.
\u203bPlease note that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and may not be visible depending on the weather and atmospheric conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
