Bella Aurora
Midnight sun over a calm lake in Finnish Lapland

Two seasons,
as opposite as they come.

Most people dream of Lapland in winter. We also dream of summer. The house is the same — the year is not.

The long dark

The northern lights
Dark enough from late August to mid-April. Nobody can promise them — we can only put you under the right sky.
Ski at Levi
The fell and its slopes are close by; the silence is closer.
The quiet forest
Walks in fresh snow, arctic air, and the kind of stillness that follows you home.
Sauna evenings
Heated at three in the afternoon, because by then it is already night.
Summer · June to August

The sun that stays

The midnight sun
From late May to late July the sun does not set. Time gets pleasantly unreliable.
The lake at midnight
Levijärvi is a short walk away: paddle it, swim it, or simply float in full light.
Trails and fairways
Mountain-bike trails wind through the forests; a quiet round of golf ends under the midnight sun.
Berry picking
No itinerary, no rush. Blueberries in the forest, cloudberries out on the bogs, and lingonberries too.

The lights

When do the auroras come?

The aurora needs a dark, clear sky. From late August to mid-April the nights here are dark enough, and the deeper the winter, the longer the window each night. The clouds decide the rest, and no one can promise those.

  • Late Aug to mid Apr, dark enough
  • May to July, midnight sun and no aurora
