Your Best Chance Yet to See the Northern Lights in Lofoten
We’re on the brink of something massive. The winter of 2025 will fall right in the peak of Solar Maximum, which means if you’ve been dreaming of seeing the northern lights in Lofoten, now’s the time to make it happen. Whether you're keen to join the best northern lights tour in Lofoten, or fancy chasing them solo with expert guidance in your back pocket, we’ve got you covered.
What is Solar Maximum and Why Should You Care?
The sun works in 11-year cycles of activity, and we’re heading into the peak—known as Solar Maximum—right now. That means more solar flares, more coronal mass ejections, and, crucially, more aurora activity lighting up the polar skies.
In simple terms: this is your best shot in over a decade to witness spectacular aurora displays dancing across Lofoten’s dramatic mountain peaks and fjords. And trust me, it’s going to be wild.
