ARCTIC AUTUMN

A whole spectrum
of natural colours

In Arctic Europe, autumn is the season that offers opportunities to experience nature like you have never seen it before: even the ground changes colour between the nightless night of the summer and the total darkness of the winter. The season is full of surprises, big and small. The joy of wandering in lush forests, fell landscapes and mountains brings exciting new perspectives.

Whether it’s the sound of silence, breathing the world’s cleanest air, the taste of pure Nordic flavours in the great outdoors or in a cosy restaurant, or witnessing the northern lights dancing in the sky, visitors can’t help but spark interesting conversations at home about their transformative experiences.

You have to go north.

It’s in our nature to inspire. Autumn in Arctic Europe shows you a world you’ve never seen before. Nature comes to life in every colour imaginable. Experiencing the authentic Arctic culture will widen your horizons just as much as the view from the top of a fell.

Arctic Europe is known for offering some of the most breath-taking, authentic experiences that are easily accessible. Sometimes, it even feels like a fairytale coming true.
