Polar night
There is nothing more comforting than the soft pastels and bright northern lights of Polar night. During this time from 25th November to 16th of January the sun is not visible at all, and the daylight only lasts for a few hours. If you want to experience the beauty of polar night, come and stay in our new hostel! Our comfy hostel rooms with queen size beds are only bookable yearly from December to February.
Midnight Sun
The nightless night lasts in Kilpisjärvi from the 22nd of May until the 25th of July. During this time the Sun won't go below the horizon at all which means that there is daylight for 24/7. For the flora and fauna this short season of constant sunshine means rapid growth and blooming. We recommend that you enjoy the Midnight sun from the top of Saana fell and listen to bluethroats singing until late hours. The energy boost of all this light will last you long until fall!
Autumn Colors of Lapland
There is something magical about a certain two weeks in September when these endless fell landscapes turn into a sea of colors. Seeing the fifty shades of orange once makes you long to see it again and the colors actually are different every year! Sometimes they are burning red and the next year they can be bright yellow. Would you like to see the color of next Fall? Remember to book your accommodation in good time, because this is one of the most popular seasons!
