Aurora Resorts

Aurora Resort If your dream of winter is a snug log cabin with amber light glowing behind frosty windows, book a stay with the folks at a northern lodge. Our fly-in lodges are famous for imaginative packages, supplying something for everyone. Sample their winter adventures including aurora watching, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, dog sledding and snowmobiling. Then warm up in the sauna before you tuck into a home-cooked meal.

Packages to backcountry lodges typically include airport transfers, accommodations, meals, and cold-weather gear. The lodges are located where the majestic aurora display is brightest. Experienced guides may be available to interpret the science and lore of the mesmerizing lights – and to provide expert tips on taking photographs.
