THE NORTHERN LIGHTS TRAIN

Description

Join an exciting Northern Lights chase on board the Northern Lights Train! Far up in the mountains, away from the bright city lights, you have a great chance of catching the Green Lady dancing in the sky. The first stop on the journey is Bjørnfjell, by the Swedish border. In this area there are many historic events connected to the Second World War. After a short stop, the journey continues to Katterat Station, 374 meters above sea level.

We'll get off the train and set off on a hike to search of the Northern Lights. When the sky is dark and clear, we will have a good chance of spotting the beautiful lights shining in the sky. Throughout the trip the guides will share exciting stories, both on and off the train. We also serve baked goods and something warm to drink while we relax around the bonfire.Join us on this unique journey as we travel along the historic Ofoten Trainline, away from city light pollution. This isn’t just any ride - it’s a unique quest into the Arctic night, chasing one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena, the Aurora Borealis. Surrounded by dark night skies, we will have great chances of witnessing the northern lights!

Our first stop is at the Swedish bordertown, Bjørnfjell station. After a short stop, we will continue our journey to Katterat station, located 373 meters above sea level.

At Katterat station, we’ll step off the train to immerse ourselves in the Arctic night, gathering around a cozy campfire under the open sky. Your guide will serve hot drinks and a fresh pastry as we wait for the northern lights to appear, adding warmth and comfort to this magical moment.

Afterward, we’ll return to the train and journey back to Narvik, hopefully bringing with you magical memories and images of this unforgettable experience. ‍
