Why it works for the aurora
- View
- Over Lake Huttujärvi; forest elsewhere..
- Darkness
- Dark sky, grade 1 on a scale from 0 (darkest) to 5. Little artificial light; a good place for faint aurora and the Milky Way.
- Aurora
- Near the edge of the auroral oval: aurora on most active nights, low in the northern sky on quiet ones.
Getting there
- Distance
- About 19 km by road from the middle of Pyhä-Luosto (estimate), roughly 22 min by car.
- Parking
- Free unpaved car park run by Metsähallitus; room for about 20 cars.

Before you go
Do not go onto lake ice.
Dress for standing still in the cold, bring a head torch with a red light, and park only where parking is allowed. A forecast is guidance, not a promise: check the road and weather warnings for Finland before a night drive. See our winter safety note.
