Discover the magic of autumn in Lapland with a 25 km guided e-bike tour in Ylläs and Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. Ride through colourful forests, see reindeer, enjoy wild berries, and experience Northern Lights.
Experience Lapland in Autumn
September is one of the best times to visit Lapland. The air is fresh, the crowds are gone, and nature is bursting with colour. In Ylläs and Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, autumn — or ruska in Finnish — is a season of contrasts: warm days, frosty nights, golden forests, and starry skies.
Early autumn is also berry and mushroom season. Blueberries and lingonberries cover the forest floor, and mushrooms sprout in abundance. The nights are finally dark again after the Midnight Sun, which means there’s a chance to see the Aurores Boréales dancing above the fells.

One of the most enjoyable ways to explore Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park in autumn is by joining a guided 25 km e-bike tour. With electric assistance, cycling becomes accessible to everyone, so you can focus on the landscapes instead of the effort.
