It is the most colorful time of the year when the green colors of summer slowly change to orange, yellow, and red. Here, nature's pantries, such as cloudberries, lingonberries, and blueberries, also contribute to the coloring of the landscape. For those of you who like to be out in nature during the summer but are less fond of blood-sucking insects, we can promise this month is for you.

Now, there are also good chances that the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) will appear in clear weather during the evenings, so for the photography enthusiast, it is the most colorful time during the late summer. It is now possible to discover and hike the world heritage of Laponia in autumn. The mountain cabins and the exhibition Naturum Laponia are open until the middle of the month.

If you would instead make day trips near central Gällivare, we recommend Dundret Nature Reserve. Just don't forget your lunch bag with the traditional Lemmel coffee.
