Skibotn

Northern Light Park and sami experiences

Welcome to the Northern Light Park in Skibotn! Join us for an evening you won't soon forget, here we offer Sami activities, food and joik while we wait for the northern lights to appear in the sky above us.

Skibotn is known as the place in the arctic regions where you have the greatest chance of seeing the fantastic northern lights. This is due to climatic conditions that make the place one of those with the least amount of rainfall during the year. The clouds often open up when you get to Skibotn and a cloudless sky gives you a better chance of seeing the northern lights.

In the Northern Light Park you have access to a restaurant, bar and toilets indoors. Outdoors, we have several Sami lavvos. The largest is heated with room for 50 people.
On your visit with us, you will be served a Sami dinner, bidos, as well as hot broth. Our Sami team gives you storytelling about the Sami way of life and every evening there is a joik concert from our outdoor stage. In the square, there are also several bonfires with seating areas that you can sit around while you wait for the magical light to appear in the sky.
We also offer several activities such as who will be the evening's champion in lasso throwing. Join a very nice Sami and Arctic experience in Skibotn. The place with the most Northern Lights days during the winter.

You also get the chance to meet Nils Peder I Gaup thesamiway.no. His reindeers have their summer pasture on the island Arnøya, a bit further north in Nord-Troms and the winter pasture in Kautokeino. Hear the story of the Sami way of life and how Nils Peder and his family live. Take the opportunity to feed the reindeer.
