Northern Lights

Written by davas_saara on . Posted in Independend trips, Northern lights, Vibrant Colorfull Autumn, Winter wonderland.

Northern Lights are the most spectacular colour show of northern nature. They are light phenomena appearing as colourful, dancing and quickly moving lights that change form, and can be viewed in the northern regions in dark and clear night skies.

Northern Lights can be observed starting from the last week in August, when the nights start to darken. Northern Lights can be viewed through to mid-April, following which the nights become too bright to spot these light phenomena. The more north you travel, the more often you will see the Northern Lights, and they are often visible throughout the night.

The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are natural phenomena that can be forecasted on the basis of solar wind activity and of course the weather. The following websites help you to estimate when the Northern Lights are visible.

Available August – April

Arctic nature

Written by davas_saara on . Posted in Arctic nature, Independend trips.

Nuorgam is surrounded by spectacular, open and Arctic nature that is astonishingly diverse, and the Nuorgam Holiday Village is an outstanding base for exploring the Arctic wilderness. The pure nature and clean natural waters with oxygen-rich air will definitely charm you.

The environment is treeless tundra wilderness, given its own character due to proximity of the Arctic Ocean and the mountain birch at its own extremes. Kaldoaivi, Finland’s northernmost roadless wilderness area is just around the corner and provides excellent opportunities for watching nature.

The fauna is plentiful in this area. In Norway and on the shores of the Arctic Ocean you can see species you will not find in Finland. You can observe a number of species of wading birds, and there are a few rare species, such as the extremely rare European freshwater flounder and Myricaria germanica with its only known occurrence in Finland being Pulmakijärvi.

You can spot at least the following species in the immediate vicinity.

ANIMALS

Norway lemming, mountain hare, reindeer, elk, fox. Special species of moths and butterflies.

BIRDS

Willow grouse, merlin, wood sandpiper, red-throated diver, bluethroat, golden plover, red-necked phalarope, black-throated diver, Arctic tern, common redshank, velvet scoter, Temminck’s stint, Siberian tit, Arctic warbler, long-tailed jaeger, common sandpiper, common redpoll

FISH

Grayling, flounder, sea salmon, Arctic charr, whitefish, trout

FLORA

Cloudberry, yellow vetchling, bilberry, mountain birch, Myricaria germanica, lingonberry, mountain bearberry, marsh-marigold, dwarf birch, dwarf willow, crowberry, Habenaria straminea Fernald, Alpine enchanter’s nightshade, mountain bladder fern

Fell Highland Skiing

Written by davas_saara on . Posted in Fell Highland Theraphy, Independend trips, Winter wonderland.

Equally as important as skiing in Nuorgam is viewing the open snowscapes of the fell highlands, feeling the true power of nature and enjoying tranquillity. There is no real need to dress in tight-fitting skiing wear or a sweatband. You will feel naturally vitalised, far from everyday hustle and bustle and mass tourism destinations.

You can easily access the fell highlands directly from Nuorgam Holiday Village. The immediate vicinity has a marked and maintained (no lighting) Fielbmajärvi cross-country skiing track, taking you easily to Skaidijärvi. There is also a skiing track taking you to the campfire shelter owned and maintained by the Holiday Village.

Nuorgam Holiday Village is also a great base for departing or return journeys if you are heading for the Nuorgam–Pulmankijärvi–Sevettijärvi cross-country skiing route.
