The hot and hedonistic days of the summer are drawing to a close, and the sun starts to set a little earlier every day. But one of the highlights of the year is just around the corner: the explosion of colour that autumn brings to Finland’s landscapes.
The very best part of the country for autumn colours is Lapland, where the trees, shrubs and bushes covering the fells are painted in soft shades of red, orange and yellow. The colours are at their best between September and November, when temperatures can range between about +2°C and +15°C.
