Under cover of darkness, head away from the artificial lights of Sörbyn Lodge and into the depths of Swedish Lapland. The snowmobile or 4x4 will take you across mountain peaks with fabulous views of the Råneå river valley. Once you've reached your lookout point, light a fire and warm up with traditional Swedish fika - hopefully the night will be clear enough to see the Northern Lights dance across the night sky.
