Where is the place in Finland to go and see the northern lights (aurora Borealis) and experience the ice hotel? I would likl to go there in the Christmas holidays for a 5-day break. Also want to do reindeer sledding and maybe even some skiing. Must stay in borders for Finland for visa reasons. So, where and when to see the northern lights?? Thanks!

I was here in January/Feb. and my boyfriend, who is Finnish, and I went and stayed at the Snow Castle Hotel (ice hotel), for one night. Cold, but very fun, and beautiful. We then went farther north into the Arctic Circle (past Santa's Village), to try to see the Northern Lights. We did not have any luck.....according to my boyfriend, the climate has to have certain conditions (i.e. clear sky, no city lights reflections, and not very windy). I have read that the months that I came were the season to see them, but they can occasionally be seen other times of the year.

Hope that helps.
