Activities

Harvest Season

August

The harvest season in Lapland stands for berry and mushroom picking as well as hunting and fishing. These traditions are cherished and nature’s crops are stored for the long winter ahead.

The days are warm and the nights are cool, and the Northern Lights season starts on the first dark autumn nights – the best shows of the year are often seen at this time.

It’s August, the time of harvest season. The season of the most beautiful misty mornings and possibility of the first frosty nights. The season’s first faint northern lights shimmering against a sky that never quite turns dark. Quiet moments among the berry-covered heaths.
