March is one of the most rewarding times to visit Lapland, yet it often flies under the radar compared to the busy mid-winter season. It’s a month of balance—where Arctic landscapes are still covered in snow, but the temperatures are milder, the days are brighter, and the Northern Lights remain as spectacular as ever. For many seasoned travellers and Aurora experts, March is considered the “sweet spot” of the Northern Lights season.
March’s reputation as one of the best months for Northern Lights isn’t by chance – it’s explained by science. Around the time of the spring equinox, the Earth’s tilt and magnetic field line up in a way that enhances geomagnetic activity. This alignment often leads to brighter and more frequent Aurora displays, giving you an excellent chance of seeing the lights at their most vivid. Add to that the milder temperatures of March, and you can stay outside longer and more comfortably, making the experience even more magical.
March is the perfect balance between winter magic and the first hints of spring. The landscapes are snow-covered, yet the longer daylight hours mean you can pack even more into your days. It’s a time when adventure and comfort meet, giving you the chance to enjoy unforgettable Arctic experiences, like:
Snowmobiling – Speed across frozen lakes and through sparkling forests under brighter skies.
Reindeer safaris – Embrace the calm pace of traditional Sámi travel and simultaneously connect with Arctic heritage.
Scenic contrasts – Longer, lighter afternoons add warmth and golden hues to the snowy landscapes, creating breathtaking backdrops.
