Experience
one of the most unusual natural phenomenon - the Aurora
Borealis / Northern Lights!
During the winter
months of October through early April, some of the best
Aurora viewing occurs from Fairbanks and further north.
We've chosen top experiences including Bettles Lodge,
Chena Hot Springs Resort and an Arctic Circle Adventure
to Coldfoot. Each offer slightly different experiences,
while still focusing on Aurora Borealis viewing. Bettles
and Coldfoot are unique destinations located across
Alaska's Arctic Circle, while Chena Hot Springs and
Fairbanks offer Aurora viewing for those with limited
time. With comfortable accommodation and a variety of
daily outdoor activities to choose from, Fairbanks and
the Arctic are clearly premier destinations for winter
fun!
