Silver Birch Resort – Where Less Means More
Silver Birch Resort is near Rovaniemi but still far away from everything. Escape to the serenity of your own private peninsula in Finnish Lapland. Silver Birch Resort offers year-round luxury in beautifully designed glass cabins, nestled in Arctic nature.
With only a few guests at a time, it’s a rare kind of privacy. And a rare kind of peace.
Giving back to Lapland & beyond
Lapland is our home. We want our work to leave something positive behind, both for its nature and for the people who live here.
Growing new forests in Lapland
Together with Carboreal, we are helping turn former farmland in Lapland into new forest. The land will be protected for 70 years, giving trees time to grow and creating new habitats for wildlife.
Giving back to our community
We support local charities, youth sports and community projects in Rovaniemi. We also share our experience through education partnerships and internships, helping young people build skills and find opportunities in tourism.

Rovaniemi!
Rovaniemi!
We're based right here in Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland and the official home of Santa Claus. From our doorstep, the Arctic Circle is just a few minutes away — and the Taiga forests, frozen lakes and Northern Lights skies are ours to share with you.
We keep our groups small and our guides passionate, because the real magic of Lapland isn't found in a crowd. It's found in the silence of the snow, the crackle of a campfire, and the stories told around it. Come find us — we'd love to show you our corner of the Arctic.
Our main office is located at 24 Rovakatu, 96200 Rovaniemi (FINLAND). Come and let’s plan your next great experience together!
When Can You See the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi?
The best time for understanding the magic of the Northern Lights is during the dark months, from late August to April. This long season offers a variety of ways to witness the Aurora:
- Winter: Experience the vibrant colors dancing over a deep, snow-covered landscape.
- Autumn: See the lights reflected in the still, dark lakes.
Our tours are carefully timed and planned according to real-time data and solar activity forecasts to maximize your chances of seeing the northern lights. We track the weather daily to find the clearest skies, far from the light pollution of Rovaniemi.

- Expert Guidance: Aurora hunting based on the latest scientific forecasts.
- Full Gear: Professional thermal clothing and winter boots are included.
- Arctic Comfort: Warm drinks, local snacks, and a traditional campfire.
- Memories Captured: We offer camera tips and send you professional tour photos afterwards.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Nature is unpredictable. While no one can offer a 100% guarantee, our expertise in understanding the magic of the Northern Lights means we use advanced tracking and local knowledge to maximize your chances every single night.
We don’t just stay in one place. If it’s cloudy in the city, we use weather satellite data to hunt for clear skies across the region, often driving long distances to find the perfect viewing spot. If the conditions require so, we may drive up to 150 kilometres during the night to find a clear sky.
Not with the right gear! We provide professional-grade thermal outfits. Plus, we always have a warm campfire going to keep the chill away while we wait for the Aurora to appear.
While a DSLR is great, modern phones can capture the lights surprisingly well. Our guides are happy to help you with your settings, and we also take photos for you!
Every morning we analyse the weather forecast and the aurora predictions. Based on this, we adapt the routes of our Northern Lights tours and their departures.
Your exact pick-up/meeting time will be communicated by e-mail on the morning of your tour. It is very important that you check your e-mail the same day (please check also your SPAM folder) to make sure to have the information. The departures are usually set between 18:00 and 22:00, depending on the darkness period.
Standard start times of our Northern Lights Wilderness Tour (may be adapted due to weather conditions):
- November to February – 19:00
- September, October and March – 20:00
- April – 21:30
Yes. You may request to change the date of your Northern Lights Wilderness Tour for any other night (depending on availability) free of charge. However, the request must be made enough time in advance (before 15:00 local time), so we can inform our Aurora guides. Late requests will not be accepted. Please note that during the high season (especially around Christmas) changes are not possible.
Please call our office to make the request (especially if it is urgent) or send us an e-mail.
