Lapland’s winter wonderland reputation is so ingrained in our minds that it can be easy to forget that this location goes through all four wonderful seasons!
One in particular that excites us here at the Aurora Zone is autumn. That’s because this time of year marks the spectacular return of the Northern Lights – but that’s not all this season has to offer.


At this time of change, there is no better place to experience nature’s powerful intuition than in the Finnish wilderness. Here you can watch as the trees start to shake off their summer coats, the wildlife prepares for the upcoming freeze and the local produce emerges from the ground for one last delicious treat.


As Lapland’s capital, Rovaniemi is a prime example of how stunning this season is. That’s why we’ve put together these photos that show you exactly why you should visit this unbelievable part of the world in autumn:
