Aurora Sky Station
Aurora Sky Station (Nuolja)
An observation station on Nuolja mountain in Abisko. Ride an open chairlift up to about 900 metres, away from light pollution, and wait for the aurora.
The open chairlift departs next to Abisko Turiststation and takes about 20 minutes to reach the top. The station has a heated room, a viewing platform and a small exhibition. It is open at night in winter, and you can choose a package that includes dinner. It also opens during the midnight sun season in summer, when you can look out over Lake Torneträsk and the Lapporten valley. The chairlift is exposed to the open air, and in winter the wind chill can drop to -30°C. The station provides full-body warm suits. Tickets must be booked in advance on the official website, and opening dates change with the season and weather.
