NORTHERN LIGHTS AKA AURORA BOREALIS
What is the best time of the year to see the Northern Lights?
In Jokkmokk they are visible from the middle of August to the middle of April. There is greater aurora activity around the equinoxes from September to Oktober and March to April. It doesn´t matter so much when during this season you come or what the aurora forecast says. The most important factors is that you have clear sky without any light pollution and that you bring a partner that can take turns of observing when you are sleeping. It is very recommended that you stay comfortable and watch the sky the whole night. That's why we don't recommend northern light tours but to spend at least 3 nights in our Floating Glass Rooms where You can hang and relax. Then you have maximised your chances to see the northern lights, most of our visitors that stay 3 nights or more have seen the lights. Here you can go deeper into the information.

What makes Peace & Quiet Hotel unique for Northern Lights (Aurora) experiences?

Peace & Quiet Hotel is the only nature hotel chain in the Nordics and the Barents region fully specialised in Northern Lights (Aurora) experiences for its guests.
All destinations are designed around Aurora visibility, with glass rooms that allow guests to view the Northern Lights directly from their bed when conditions allow.

Why does Peace & Quiet Hotel offer glass rooms in multiple destinations?

Aurora visibility depends on weather, cloud cover, and local conditions that vary from night to night.
By offering Aurora-focused glass rooms in different parts of the Barents region, Peace & Quiet Hotel allows guests to travel between destinations and stay in a glass room every night, increasing the overall probability of experiencing the Northern Lights during their trip.

Can guests stay in glass rooms every night while travelling through the region?

Yes. Peace & Quiet Hotel’s concept allows guests to combine stays at different destinations within the Barents region, with glass-room accommodation available at each location.
