In Finnish Lapland day time temperatures are between 7 and 10 ºC but night time temperatures are already hovering at or even below 0 ºC.

While the first snows are some ways off the low evening temperatures bring on the spectacular colours of Ruska, the Finnish name for autumn. The season will last just a few weeks in Lapland but the colours are breathtaking.

This is the ideal time to go hiking through the Lapp forests and over the fells of northern Lapland. The region has beautiful and extensive well marked trails for day or long distance hikes. There is nothing better than hiking under crisp clear blue skies, taking in the pure air and enjoying the spectacular array of colours.
