The more time you spend in the Northern Lights \u201czone\u201d, the better your chances to see a display.<\/li><li> Typically your dogsled tour will involve staying in wilderness cabins (or in some cases winter camping) where there is no electricity and away from other settlements, so with very little light pollution.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GO DOG SLEDDING TO SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p> The Aurora may be seen, provided the skies are clear and there is activity of course, any time the skies are dark enough, which is from early September to early\/mid-April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the far north, the season for dog sledding runs from mid-November to early May, which means that, with the exception of the last part of season from early\/mid-April onwards (which is also a spectacular time for husky sledding, by the way!) the Northern Lights can be seen all through the sledding season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-filip-dejaeg.jpg\" alt=\"Northern Lights corona.\" class=\"wp-image-154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-filip-dejaeg.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-filip-dejaeg-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Photo: Filip Dejaeger.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Within this period, there\u2019s no \u201cbest\u201d time as such:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On one hand, the shorter daylight hours (and so increased hours of darkness) of the deep midwinter period between November and January could be said to offer better chances, as there are more dark hours when displays could occur.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other, the \u201cspring winter\u201d period from mid-February to April can offer more stable weather conditions, with increased chances of clear skies. You may need to stay up later, especially towards the end of the season, before the skies get dark enough to see the Aurora, but wonderful displays are frequently seen during this later part of the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-corinne-mcma.jpg\" alt=\"Northern Lights.\" class=\"wp-image-153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-corinne-mcma.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-corinne-mcma-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Photo: Filip Dejaeger.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Aurora activity can be very variable and is reliably predictable only a few hours ahead \u2013 it\u2019s not possible to say far in advance whether any particular time will be better than another (though keen Aurora watchers may for example choose periods of new moon, when the skies are likely to be darker).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, choose your trip dates to match when you think you\u2019ll most enjoy the experience of dog sledding (and when you\u2019re free of course). Don\u2019t base them around the Northern Lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With luck, you have good chances to see the Northern Lights on any of the tours listed above \u2013 perhaps even a number of times during your tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Aurora displays occur, you will see them when at the cabins (or outside your tent if you\u2019re particularly adventurous and are on a winter camping tour!), in the evening after the day\u2019s sledding is finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are out sledding, it will be at least partly light, even if this is the beautiful, gentle \u201cblue\u201d dusky light of Midwinter, so the Northern Lights are very unlikely to be visible when you\u2019re on the sleds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a very good thing, as you should in any case be concentrating on your huskies, managing the sled and looking where you\u2019re going, not gazing at the sky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-nature-trave.jpg\" alt=\"Dog Sledding and Winter Camping on the King's Trail.\" class=\"wp-image-161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-nature-trave.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-nature-trave-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Dog Sledding and Winter Camping on the King&#8217;s Trail.

To see a display, four things need to happen: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>There must be Aurora activity at a time of day when the skies are dark.<\/li><li> The skies must be clear where you are.<\/li><li> You must be away from light pollution.<\/li><li> You must be awake, and outside looking at the sky! The skies could be ablaze with Aurora wonders, but you won\u2019t see them if you\u2019re tucked up fast asleep in bed!<\/li><li> Unlike a \u201cNorthern Lights Chase\u201d-type tour using a vehicle (Nature Travels doesn\u2019t offer this kind of tour), where you can potentially drive large distances if necessary to find an area of clear sky, there is no possibility to \u201csearch\u201d for the Northern Lights when dog sledding, though you can of course certainly increase your chances by taking regular looks outside when at the cabins or in your tent, or staying up late on Aurora watch!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You should bear in mind that, wherever you travel and whatever type of Aurora activity you choose, it\u2019s possible that you won\u2019t see the Northern Lights during your time in the far north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-nature-trav2.jpg\" alt=\"Hugging a husky.\" class=\"wp-image-160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-nature-trav2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogsled-aurora-nature-trav2-300x153.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Photo: Nature Travels<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We therefore strongly recommend that you don\u2019t base your holiday on a \u201cmake or break\u201d opportunity to see the lights. A display is undoubtedly captivating and beautiful, but there is so much more to experience in a northern winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dog sledding is a wonderful adventure in itself, whether or not a display of the Northern Lights during your trip adds to the magic. In either case, you may well find that it was the experience of gliding through the winter landscape with your dogs that forms your most precious memories from your holiday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Happy Mushing and Happy Aurora Watching!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best regards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nature Travels Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many travellers, the adventure of driving your own dogsled and the opportunity to see a display of the Northern Lights are two things at the very top of their list.
