Officially, the best time to go in search of the Aurora is between November and March, however, the Northern Lights can actually be seen from as early as September. In fact, Autumn can be a great time to see them without any reflection from the snow.
It is also a time favoured by the Finns to go hiking in the fells, which are bursting with vibrant autumnal colours. Combine the two and immerse yourself in the red, gold and yellows that signify the ‘Ruska Season’, with a stay at a cosy Wilderness Lodge in a favoured Aurora hotspot. You may even be fortunate enough to see the lights reflected in beautiful Lake Inari.
