Abisko is one of the best places in the world to see the northern lights! The evening begins with a two-kilometer cable car ride up to the STF Aurora Sky Station, 900 meters above sea level. Here you can enjoy a four-course dinner with flavors from Lapland, while the northern lights dance across the sky. Our guides tell you about the phenomenon, Sami culture, and Lapland’s rich history. The view over Abisko, Lake Torneträsk, and the mountains is unbeatable. On the station’s terrace and observation tower, you can watch for the northern lights and join a shorter guided walk. 

In severe weather, the dinner is instead served in our cozy lavvu (wooden hut) in the national park, followed by northern lights viewing and warming drinks with delicacies from northern Sweden.

For the meal, we offer selected wine packages, beer, or non-alcoholic drinks to purchase.

If weather conditions prevent the chairlift from operating, the evening dinner will be relocated to the Lavvu. The final dinner venue is determined according to weather conditions, and guests will be notified on the day of the event. (Click to read more.)

If the chairlift is unable to operate and transport guests to STF Aurora Sky Station for safety reasons due to weather conditions, such as strong winds or extreme cold, dinner will instead be served in our Lavvu (traditional wooden Sámi hut) located in Abisko National Park. Weather conditions in the park are generally less severe than on the mountain, while the opportunities to see the Northern Lights remain just as good.

The decision regarding the dinner venue will be made on the day of the event, and all guests will be notified accordingly.

If dinner is held in the Lavvu, guests will be invited to join their guide on a short walk through the northern part of the national park after dinner, learning about the area’s history, gaining insights into the Northern Lights, and receiving tips on how to observe them. Later in the evening, hot beverages and local northern Swedish delicacies will be served in our wood-fired Lavvu located within the national park.

Bookings for any of STF’s Aurora Sky Station experiences become binding once the cancellation policy takes effect. No refunds will be issued if the chairlift is unable to operate and the experience is held in the Lavvu instead.

About the area

Abisko is located in northern Lapland, around 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, and is one of Sweden’s most accessible alpine mountain areas. Abisko National Park offers a well-developed trail system with clearly marked routes, making the area suitable for both shorter trips and longer hikes.

The Kungsleden trail passes through the area, heading south between Lapporten (Čuonjavággi) and Mount Nuolja. To the north of Abisko lies Lake Torneträsk, one of Scandinavia’s largest mountain lakes, contributing to open views and a varied landscape.

The area is known for excellent conditions for seeing the northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer. Visitors can follow marked trails independently or join guided tours, and equipment rental is available if needed.

Booking conditions

You can cancel up to 7 days before arrival. After that, no refund will be issued.

The package can be booked up to one day prior to arrival.

When booking any of our STF Aurora Sky Station experiences, please note that we cannot guarantee sightings of the Northern Lights, as this is a natural phenomenon and dependent on weather conditions.

Bookings for any STF Aurora Sky Station experience become binding once the cancellation policy takes effect. No refunds will be issued if the chairlift is unable to operate and the experience is instead held in the Lavvu.
