The secluded location is perfect for a romantic getaway, honeymoon, or anyone who is looking to take a solo trip.

Visibility of the Northern Lights

If you've never experienced the beauty that is the Northern Lights, the Panorama Glass Lodge is a wonderful chance to do just hat. It is important to note that you can only see the northern lights during the winter months when it is dark outside (which in this part of the world is from around late August to late April). Also, you can only see the Northern Lights if it's cloudless outside, not raining or snowing. There is no certain time that they will appear the most. The Northern Lights can appear from early in the evening to early morning. You want to make sure and look up in the sky often when it's dark outside. When visiting the glass cabin, you can check the aurora forecast and cloud cover forecast every 15 minutes to see how lucky your chances might be. Sometimes the Northern Lights are not very active, and you do not see them even on when it is a cloudless night. So while it is not guaranteed you will see the Northern Lights on your holidays, you will still get to experience the beauty of this location.

Tips for Viewing the Northern Lights

Generally, it is said that if you can see the stars and you are patient and staring into the sky for hours, then your chances are high that you may see the lights. The months of December and January are usually the months when there are the heaviest storms, and there are a lot of storms in this area, so these months the chances of seeing the Northern Lights are a bit smaller that you will see the Auroras but not impossible, with every year being different.
