Questions

When is the best time to see the northern lights from a glass igloo in Levi?

On 10 seasons of weather-station cloud records, the three weeks from 7 January have the most clear, dark sky: 4.0 hours a night on average. December has the longest nights (15.7 dark hours) but only 3.2 of them are clear in a typical year in the week before Christmas.

Do the igloo roofs frost over?

Glass collects snow and frost. 1 of the 4 places here say their glass is heated or has a defrost button. The rest don't say. Ask before you book if this matters to you.

Will someone wake me if the aurora appears?

0 of the 4 have an alarm in the room. Some others give you a phone app instead, which only works if your phone is on and loud.

Can I see the northern lights in summer?

No. From late April to mid-August the sky at Levi never gets dark enough. Our chart shows 0 dark hours in those weeks.
