Discover the World’s Six Trips to Book Now for Autumn

take advantage of autumn and aurora colours as well as bright days for hikes and swims       

Discover the World has picked six timely autumnal breaks with departures throughout September and October, to take advantage of blue-sky days, fewer visitors, epic nature experiences and shoulder season affordability as many people look to avoid high season travel.

Canada and Scandinavia offer incredible autumn colours, pre-winter wildlife at its liveliest, forest foraging and aurora sightings, especially around the equinox as solar cycle 25 peaks and is visible thanks to the longer nights.

Both Swedish and Finnish Lapland offer aurora borealis spotting options in many forms with guided nighttime walks, remote cabin stays and outdoor jacuzzis.

Or, choose a short break in Finland during September to experience ‘ruska’, a uniquely Finnish word for the intense show of colourful autumn foliage, head to Swedish Lapland for forest floor foraging and the chance to learn Nordic wilderness skills or enjoy crisp days for hikes and leaf peeping in eastern Canada.

Finland for ‘ruska’, Sami Culture, cooking over fire and wildlife walks

Embrace an Arctic autumn and the colours of  Finnish ‘ruska’ at Wildness Hotel Inari with its lakeside location in the far northern reaches of Finnish Lapland and Sami culture, hikes and wildlife on the doorstep. During the day take a walk to the village of Inari at the heart of Finland’s Sámi culture to spend time at Siida – Sami Museum and Nature Centre. Wildlife lovers will enjoy a guided hike amongst the autumn colours of the forest and the chance to see reindeer. As the sun goes down head to the Aurora Camp and look to the evening sky for that magical aurora. To make the most of the solitude at camp your guide will prepare pancakes and warm drinks by the open fire.

This new three night autumn trip is priced from £792 per person including accommodation, all meals and activities and transfers from Ivalo airport with departure dates in September and October https://www.discover-the-world.com/holidays/inari-autumn-aurora

Sweden’s Lulea Archipelago for autumn colour, dancing skies and wilderness skills

Make tracks to Swedish Lapland for the start of northern lights season as well as the expected surge of aurora activity predicted around the autumn equinox (21-23 September). The days are cooler for hikes and there’s time to swim off the beach or hire a canoe. The incredible reds and oranges in the tree foliage and green lights dancing in the sky are particularly alluring when viewed from Lulea’s Archipelago in the Bay of Bothnia. Stay at Brandon Lodge for autumnal days exploring, learning Nordic wilderness skills as well as taking a guided evening northern lights walk. There’s also time for a sauna and soak in the outdoor jacuzzi.
