This year has been an exceptionally good one for northern lights – the sky has gifted us with one breathtaking display after another! 💚💜 And while spring is well on its way, April is still a great time to catch the auroras before they vanish for the summer. They’ll return to dance across the sky again next autumn.
Here’s a stunning show from just a few days ago above the future Jänkä Resort. By Christmas season 2025, you’ll be able to enjoy these magical views from the comfort and privacy of your very own villa 😍
