Hi
Planning to visit in December , can do either 1st week or 2nd week . Is there any recommendation on which will be better out of the two weeks from NLs prospective
Also I saw on your site that one has to walk for 2km in snow - how difficult is that while I have no issues walking , I have no experience of snow or such low temperatures
Hello! Thank you for your interest in Lights Over Lapland. 1st or 2nd week of December makes no difference statistically. It really depends on weather and aurora activity in space so we do not have good forecasts until about 3 days in advance. If you come for a 4 night visit though, you always have very good chances of seeing something while you are here! If you check out our Customisable Aurora Photo Holidays on our website, we have a great discount for single travelers right now (until the end of this week).
We usually walk much less than 2km at the time, but the furthest away location we have is approximately 2km. However, this path would be plowed so will be easy to walk. Most of our locations are closer by, so we usually walk for about 15 minutes each direction. Mostly, there is a well defined path to follow but it can get slippery at times. Deep snow is only a problem a couple of times per season if we get a large dump of snow the same day. Since Abisko is located in a rain shadow we rarely get more than a couple of centimiters of snow at a time.
I hope this information helps, just let me know if you have any further questions or check out our website for more information.
Thanks,
