Autumn colors and Auroras

Enjoy the colourful season when the nature is more beautiful than ever. Nights get darker every day, fresh air gets colder and the nature is changing vivid colors every day.

After a long time of nightless nights the sky is getting dark again for the nights and this is the best time of the year to see Northern lights! This is a season where we don’t know when the first snow falls.

If you go to wildlife watching, there is a chance to see bears on snow, or if
the bears are already gone to sleep, you have a great chance to see wolverines and wolfs. Take a hike in calming Finnish forests, curl up with your TBR book and enjoy hot drinks by the fireplace, or jump in to outdoor jacuzzi for stargazing and maybe you are lucky to see Northern lights.
