A visit to the renowned Aurora Sky Station is part of a new virtual reality experience of the stunning Abisko National Park in Sweden.
The new experience has been created and shared but specialist Northern Lights travel company Lights Over Lapland and gives viewers the chance to virtually scale almost 3,000ft up the striking Mount Noulja by chairlift before taking in the wonderous views across the Arctic wilderness.
Considered to be one of the best places on Earth to experience the Northern Lights, the Aurora Sky Station, in Abisko National Park, provides stunning views across the park, including Lake Torneträsk.
“We wanted to give people a flavour of how spectacular the region is and found the best way to do it was to create immersive virtual experiences,” said Chad Blakley, founder of Lights Over Lapland, said.
Launched in 2004, the Aurora Sky Station was the original Northern Lights experience in the region, attracting 5000 (pre covid) visitors from around the world each year.
“Having lived in Abisko for 14 years, and visited the Aurora Sky Station hundreds of times, I can safely say that the new VR experience truly feels like you are there.”
The experience is part of a new range of virtual tours, which include a dog sledding adventure, reindeer sledding, a visit to the original ICEHOTEL and experience the Northern Lights on an evening Aurora hunt.
“If you’ve ever wanted to visit the Arctic and experience the Northern Lights – then come and try it out virtually before coming to see the real thing for yourself,” Blakley added.
The latest virtual travel experience from Lights Over Lapland has been released to celebrate the launch of Lights Over Lapland’s new winter Northern Lights experience.
The new Ultimate Aurora Photo Adventure, which is now available from October to March, will give guests the best possible locations and chance to enjoy the Northern Lights.
It costs from £125 GBP per person and offers three options to see the Northern Lights. Depending on the weather and aurora forecast, guests will hunt for the lights on foot at a nearby Sami teepee, chase the lights in a modern 4×4 van, or ride on a cozy sleigh pulled behind a snowmobile to a wilderness camp.
This adds a new one-day experience to their popular multi day trips, including the 4-night Aurora Escape.
The private tour costs from £1201 GBP per person on a full board basis, allowing you to enjoy the Northern Lights and a range of Arctic activities with a private guide from a traditional three-bedroom house in Absko village.
