Book Your Autumn Escape to Lapland
Why visit Lapland in autumn?
Autumn in Lapland is short but unforgettable. From early September to early October, nature bursts into fiery shades of red, orange, and gold – a phenomenon known in Finland as "ruska." At the same time, the nights grow darker, offering some of the earliest and clearest chances to see the Northern Lights in autumn.
Unlike the busy winter season, autumn brings peace and space. It's a time when the trails are quiet, the air is crisp but not freezing, and the atmosphere invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.
