November Sunset from the Cable Car of Tromsø

Polar Night: such an experience of holidays

Most of the time, we start to prepare ourself to winter in October. We clean the garden, sort the garage, and put the spikes weals… Snow is coming! So, after autumn holidays, no potatoe in the vegetable garden, we are ready to ski with headlight! So join us since November, if you want to discover the polar night which start November 27th, 2020.

Don’t be afraid to live it, or sad for us to be forced every year to jump into the darkness: it is the coziest moment of the year. And please, don’t say it is dark 24h a day: IT IS NOT! You will see fantastic colors and lights. Plus, you will have time to see the Northern Lights easier, longer, and oftenly!

So plan your winter holidays in Tromsø before January 14th, 2021, to experience a life without sun rays…but green lights!

The Blue Light

So, now you know there is no dark day. There is some hours with brightness lighting up the white mountains and the flat and quiet fjords around. It is the most peaceful place in the world!

Ok we are not really objectives though! But for sure, what is stunning here, is the contrast between the summer and autumn colors and the winter and spring one, which is only the white! And then, you will see our unique BLUE LIGHT. This is a mix between the brightness, the blue sky and the white summits. This unique set has to be seen once in a lifetime.

Tromsø by day, with the moon and the blue light

With Ersfjordbotn Brygge, we are not only offering Northern Lights’ Chase, but also some activities by day to enjoy that Blue light. And since the brightness is between 10:00 and 15:00, we are scheduling our tour during that time.

Please take a look at them, different holidays’ experience are waiting for you like snowshoes, top tour ski, fjord cruise, fishing tour, fjord visit by minibus…

Kose = Cosy

As we said before, it is the coziest moment of the year! Imagine, norwegian people (in the north by the way) have spent 6 months outside: hiking, bicycling, gardening, sailing…So it is ok to calm down a bit, to spend more time with kids, family and friends in a warmful way. So, our Scandinavian winter lifestyle is “Koselig”. It means to put you in a cosy mood. For that, you need a plaid, a book, candles, a coffee (tea is ok also…!) and just relax.

Your winter holidays in Northern Norway can be also for you, the most relaxing time of the year. Discover for that our Rorbu to rent, in the most beautiful fjord close to Tromsø.

Outside activities by night with headlight

Our last trick is to ask a special tour outside by night with headlight. It is really common for us to continue to do sports even if it is dark outside.

A hiking trip with snowshoes for instance is bewitching when you just can heard every single step you do, deeper and deeper in the snow, lighted up by the moon and the city lights

Winter holidays in Tromsø is the northernmost vacation experience that you can live… Try it now with us!

Why choosing Norway to see the Northern Lights

Up to the Polar Circle, it is the easiest way to see Northern Lights. The more the north you are, the better. But our goal here, is not only to offer you a good answer about the Aurora but more to advise you some tips to enjoy all your holidays.

How is a Northern Lights Chase in Northern Norway?

Actually, here in Northern Norway, we have Northern Lights all year long. But, to see them, obviously, you need a clear sky and a dark night. And that this is not on a yearly basis! Summertime here, means also Midnight Sun which is the period where the sun does not go down. Because of that, from middle of April to end of August, there is too much light to see one Aurora in the sky.

What includes a Northern Lights tour with Ersfjordbotn Brygge?

So, if you plan to see the Northern Lights, Ersfjordbotn Brygge welcomes you in one of their Rorbu from September to March. For a night chase, you start at 18:30 with our guide and his mini bus which suits for max. 7 people. With a good local experience, he is able to chase depending the Northern Light activity and the weather forecast.

Between Finland border and the north of Ringvassøy Island, he is fixing your night’s schedule. That schedule includes a training to take pictures with your own camera because special equipment and settings are required like a tripod for example. Don’t miss to take one of yours if you have!

Our service includes also some other professional pictures taken by your guide. Pictures are shared some days after by email. Depending the chase, you can be back at your holiday place at midnight or later if it is necessary. Like it can be a bit cold outside, we plan for you some winter suits and a fireball. And then, as a local norwegian, you are able to stay some hours outside waiting for the magical phenomenon.

For sure, this is an unforgettable northern journey! The cherry on the cake is stories and tips shared by your guide. His passion for the Northern Lights is really not boring. With him, you reveal your child part that lies dormant in you! Emotions of a chase are just a training before your big meeting with the Green Lady.

Why choosing Northern Norway more than an another country?

In our days, there is not only one best place in the world to see Northern Lights since they have their own activity and movement around the upper part of the Globe. Don’t forget by the way, there is the same phenomenon in the South, named Aurora Australis. A place even colder for human life…

So, with some apps, you can follow the Northern Lights’ forecast: their movements, their strength (KP), their polarity (Bz). All that indexes are important to chase good. But as we said before, the weather forecast is also important. It is Nature, there is no button to push to switch them on…

Finally, you know now that you need t:

• Choose a good guide in a good company (like us!),

• Avoid the city lights

• in a place the northernmost you can!

Hidden gems are waiting for you in Northern Norway

Where up to the Polar Circle, would you enjoy Northern Lights easily then?

Your best option is definitely Northern Norway. Over there, there are so many hidden gems waiting to be explored, in an area that is absolutely stunning and like nothing you've ever seen. So don't miss out on the experience of your lifetime because you're too busy trying to cross an item off your bucket list!

Northern Norway is more and more famous as one of the best travelling experience

Don’t think only travelling to see Northern Lights, but also to visit and enjoy by day. With that, you optimize your holiday’s investment and you collect fantastic memories by day and luckily by night if the weather and the aurora's activity allows you to.

Indeed, our local place, Ersfjordbotn is known as one of the most beautiful fjord around Tromsø. Tromsø city is an island welcome tourists in hotel. Our place is the most cosy village for doing outside activity without the massive number of people starting their day from a same pick up point.

Besides, most of them are located in our island Kvaløya, next to Tromsø, at only 25 min by the road. But the best is to start from there, and save time, isn’t it?

A family friendly place to experience thousands of outside activities

Activities you can find here are most of the time outside’s ones: top tour ski, husky and reindeer sledding, fishing tour by boat with or without a guide, fjord visit by boat or by bus. Definitely it is a family friendly place where to enjoy together!

Don’t trust people who had heard that it is really cold and really dark!

One the one hand, concerning the darkness, even if it is the Polar night, you still have light. No sun rays but still lights. All our activities follow daylight to schedule them the best.

One the other hand, concerning the coldness: it is not here either! Thanks to the Gulf Stream which is protecting us since it follows the Atlantic current. So Lapland, Finland, Sweden and Norway’s inner lands are thoroughly colder! Our basic temperatures during winter are between -10 to -3°C by day and night… You can handle it easily for sure! Have a look on our specific post to prepare rightly your luggage.

To finish, we advise you also our second websites dedicated to Arctic activities and booking. You will find the Northern Lights Chase and all the others to do by day here in the same time. With that from now, you can plan all your holiday’s schedule!
