Arctic Autumn – Press kit

Arctic Autumn – The best time!

The locals say

If you listen to the locals, they say autumn is the best time of the year. They love the flaming autumn colours dressing the landscape, the crystal waters, the fresh, nippy air allowing you to see far.

As evening darkness is back, the locals light candles, sit around the campfire and gaze up at the stars. And, out of nowhere, the Northern Lights appear.

Quiet at first..

..but soon rising to a grand ouverture to the Northern Lights season

The experience is so different from the mid-winter auroras.

Autumn days invite to hikes, to kayaking, boat rides and mountain biking – and dogsledding on wheels for natural speed.

The locals, however, are crazy about wild berries and mushrooms. Restaurants serve crispy veg from northern farms, mutton flavoured by summer herbs, succulent seafood from colder waters and the sought-after sweet berries.
