4 days - Sámi cultural experiences on this short Autumn stay
In the far north of Finnish Lapland, on the edge of beautiful Lake Inari, the new Wilderness Hotel Inari is a remote retreat where wild forests and lakes provide the backdrop to the day’s adventures. In Autumn, the leaves on the trees turn orange and yellow, the tundra turns to the most beautiful hues of red, and the entire landscape explodes into incredible colours.
Besides the autumn-colours, also the Northern Lights season begins. Even though the Northern Lights are often associated with cold and snowy winter scenery, it doesn't mean they don't show in the milder months! The Finns even have a specific name for the autumn auroras, Double Auroras, because of the reflection they create when they are dancing above the lake.
