The northern lights are expected to be fantastically bright this winter, thanks partly to cleaner, clearer skies, so why not take an aurora-borealis-themed adventure? Here’s where to watch the greatest light show on the planet. Don’t make the mistake of assuming), with its packed calendar of stargazing events and team of aurora experts. This wonderfully cosy hotel even has its own observatory on-site.

A spectacular winter wonderland in the far north of the country, the resort has ice igloos and log cabins too, and if the lights don’t come out to play, there are plenty of ways to pass the time, including snowmobile safaris, ice fishing lessons and cross-country skiing excursions.
