STOCKHOLM<\/span><\/span>, Dec. 9, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — As the world’s first country to be prescribed<\/a> for its health benefits, Sweden<\/span> is now shining a light on one of its most awe-inducing wellness experiences. Aurora Borealis \u2013 the original arctic light therapy.<\/p>\n

With interest in “northern lights travel” on the rise and 61% of travelers<\/a> naming the aurora borealis as the top natural phenomenon they want to experience, the timing couldn’t be better. A rare solar maximum<\/a> is underway, making aurora displays brighter, more frequent and easier to catch. Sweden<\/span> offers front-row access to one of nature’s most powerful mood boosters.<\/p>\n

Abisko in Swedish Lapland is consistently ranked among the best places on Earth<\/a> to view the Northern Lights, thanks to its clear skies and unique microclimate.<\/p>\n

“The time in Abisko was calming and beautiful,” says Chris Brown<\/span><\/b> from Louisiana, USA<\/span>, who just returned home from his trip with Lights over Lapland.” Seeing the Aurora was an experience we will never forget and left us with a deep awe of nature.”<\/p>\n

The health benefits of awe are well-documented. Studies show that witnessing vast, natural phenomena like the aurora can lower stress<\/a>, improve mood, and foster emotional restoration.<\/p>\n

“Seeing the Northern Lights is a great way to connect with the night sky, and my research suggests that this connection is beneficial for our mental health and happiness,” says Dr. Chris Barnes<\/span><\/b>, psychologist at the University of Derby in the UK.<\/p>\n

With the Northern Lights visible up to 200 nights a year in Sweden<\/span> – and peak conditions expected through 2026 due to the solar cycle – this natural spectacle is timely and therapeutic, often enjoyed from saunas, outdoor hot tubs, forest cabins, or silent reindeer rides under the Arctic sky.<\/p>\n

A recent YouGov survey for Visit Sweden found that nearly two-thirds of respondents would consider traveling to nature if prescribed by a doctor – yet only a fraction had ever received such guidance. The Swedish Prescription bridges that gap with a curated list of science-backed, wellness-forward activities, from forest bathing and fika to cultural rituals and sky gazing.<\/p>\n
