Discover the magic of the Aurora Borealis at the Aurora Borealis Indigenous Village (ABIV), nestled in the Birch Mountains 2.5 hours northwest of Fort McMurray and south of Wood Buffalo National Park—the largest dark sky in the world. A complimentary snowmobile or ATV ride will transport you to this unique village. With no light pollution, this pristine location offers unparalleled views of the Aurora Borealis and stargazing.

ABIV is the only place in Canada where you can witness the Aurora while staying in a cozy teepee, complete with wooden floors, a wood-burning fireplace, a bed, and bedding. All meals, coffee, tea, and water are included.

Experience Indigenous culture through storytelling, smudging, making dry meat, cooking bannock, and plant-gathering for healing. Enjoy Indigenous cuisine and activities like snowshoeing, ice fishing, nature walks, bird watching, and more.

Immerse yourself in Indigenous nature at its best and witness the breathtaking Aurora Borealis.
