Northern Lights Tour – The Magic of Autumn in Lapland
Autumn in Lapland is a season of transformation and vibrant colors. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, nature dresses in warm autumn shades. Birch trees shimmer in soft yellow tones, aspens glow in red, and blueberry and lingonberry bushes turn bright crimson. This colorful period lasts for two to four weeks during September and October.
But autumn offers more than just colors – it is also the time when the Northern Lights return. Many associate the aurora with cold winter landscapes, but in fact, it dances just as beautifully across the sky during the milder autumn months. This makes your stay in Gold of Lapland an unforgettable experience.
