Win An Autumn Trip To Finnish Lapland
Wanderlust Travel Magazine|July/August 2018

Discover why autumn is the northern lights’ best-kept secret by going on an Arctic adventure with tour operator The Aurora Zone.

Win An Autumn Trip To Finnish Lapland

Emerald streaks ripple across an ink-black sky, flickering and dancing like a heavenly disco. Simply put, the aurora borealis is the best light show on Earth. It’s a natural wonder that travellers can’t resist and many flock to the Arctic Circle to catch a glimpse of its pirouetting beauty.

While many travel during the depths of winter, northern lights holiday specialists The Aurora Zone explain the season is much longer than you may expect, with the autumn months throwing up equally impressive aurora spotting opportunities. Now, they’re offering the chance for you and a friend to enjoy your own autumnal aurora experience at Wilderness Hotel Inari in Finland.

AUTUMN COLOURS

Offering up to 200 nights of possible aurora activity each year and a number of locations in which to base yourself, Finnish Lapland is highly rated by aurora watchers. There are plenty of opportunities to catch the aurora in their prime and with over half the year classed as northern lights season, you shouldn’t just pigeon-hole yourself into winter’s high season. Backed by NASA’s 75 years of research, The Aurora Zone suggest that autumn is one of the spotters’ best-kept secrets, with the time around the equinox being almost twice as likely as the solstice to have geomagnetic disturbances that cause the displays.
