The Perfect Place to Photograph the Northern Lights: Lapland & Aurora Lounge Hotel – Pandomes Igloos

2–4 minutes

Lapland is a dream destination for photographers, especially those with a passion for capturing the beauty of the night sky. Known for its pristine landscapes and clear, dark skies, it offers some of the most incredible opportunities to photograph one of nature’s most mesmerizing phenomena—the Northern Lights.

If you’re a professional photographer, a hobbyist, or simply someone who enjoys capturing unforgettable moments, staying at Aurora Lounge Hotel – Pandomes Igloos in Rovaniemi is an absolute must. Here’s why:

1. Prime Location for Aurora Borealis

Lapland sits within the Aurora Zone, making it one of the best places in the world to see the Aurora Borealis. From September to March, the nights are long and dark, offering prime conditions for Northern Lights sightings. At Aurora Lounge Hotel, you won’t have to travel far—just step outside your igloo (or even stay cozy inside) and watch the sky come to life with vibrant greens, purples, and blues.

The igloos are perfectly situated in a remote area, free from light pollution, allowing for clear, unobstructed views of the night sky. Whether you’re looking to capture the magical lights with your camera or simply witness them with your own eyes, the hotel offers a unique, immersive experience.

2. The Igloo Experience

Photographing the Northern Lights can sometimes mean spending hours outside in the freezing cold, but at Aurora Lounge Hotel, your igloo offers both warmth and comfort while you wait for the auroras to appear. Each igloo is equipped with panoramic glass windows, allowing you to enjoy the night sky from the comfort of your bed or set up your tripod just outside.

For photographers, this means no rushing to capture the perfect shot—you have the entire night to take your time and get those incredible long-exposure photos that truly bring the Aurora Borealis to life.

3. Stunning Arctic Landscapes

Lapland isn’t just about the Northern Lights. The natural beauty of the Arctic region, with its snow-covered forests, frozen lakes, and wide-open tundra, provides the perfect backdrop for daytime photography as well. The surrounding wilderness is a canvas for landscape photographers, offering opportunities to capture wildlife, stunning sunsets, and the ethereal beauty of the snow.

Imagine your photos capturing not only the Northern Lights but also the striking beauty of Lapland’s untouched nature—creating images that tell the full story of your Arctic adventure.

4. An Unforgettable Glamping Experience

At Aurora Lounge Hotel – Pandomes Igloos, we combine luxury with nature through the concept of glamping—offering the perfect balance between outdoor adventure and high-end comfort. After a long night of photography, you’ll appreciate coming back to your heated igloo, enjoying the comforts of a modern, eco-friendly retreat in the heart of the Arctic wilderness.

5. What to Expect as a Photographer

Be prepared for cold temperatures, especially during the peak Northern Lights season (November to March), so pack warm clothing and proper gear to keep your camera batteries from freezing. With the right preparation, your stay at Aurora Lounge Hotel will provide the perfect environment to get those once-in-a-lifetime shots.

Whether you’re here as a seasoned photographer or simply someone who enjoys capturing special moments, the Aurora Lounge Hotel – Pandomes Igloos offers the ultimate location to experience and photograph the Northern Lights and the stunning natural beauty of Lapland.
