Dark Days in Scandinavia

Dark Days in Scandinavia - Black and Silver Headphones on Black Surface

What happens during dark days in Scandinavia? From late fall to winter, very little to no daylight at all falls on many cities in Scandinavia, particularly north of the arctic circle.

How does this affect activities availability and operating hours? While I intend to be there mostly so that I can watch the Northern Lights, it would be good to know what else would be available should there be clouds or low aurora activity.

Are ski hills still operating and snow-shoeing or similar activities still available for rental equipment and using lifts or equivalent? What about other activities?

Are restaurants and drinking establishments likely to remain open normal hours during that time of the year?

To see the sun when the clock strikes twelve, you'll need to make your way north \u2013 the further north, the better. In Jokkmokk, just north of the Arctic Circle, you can see the Midnight Sun for 32 days in a row.
