No light pollution
There are no street lights or village lights on the lake side, so even faint auroras stand out.
Late August to mid-April
Northern lights from your window
Miilu Resort sits on the shore of Lake Ylläsjärvi with no disturbing lights. The large windows and terraces face the northern sky – and when the aurora appears, the frozen lake becomes your viewing platform.
A big window to the northern sky
Every apartment looks out over the lake. Wait for the aurora in the warmth and step outside when the sky lights up.
Sauna while you wait
Every apartment has its own sauna – the perfect break after a cold aurora night.
