Polar Star Travel Levi

25/09/2026

This week, Lapland celebrated the autumn equinox, the moment when day and night stand in perfect balance. From here on, the darkness wins a few more minutes every day, and the long journey toward ”kaamos”, the polar night, quietly begins.

The equinox is a reminder to slow down and notice the turning of the year. The light is softer now and lower in the sky, and every sunny day feels like a gift. Lapland in autumn doesn’t ask you to hurry. It asks you to stay a little longer and look a little closer.

From fall colors to snow — just around the corner

Right now the forests are glowing orange and gold. But soon enough, the ground will be covered in a beautiful blanket of snow. In Lapland, the gap between seasons is short. While elsewhere a grey, rainy autumn can drag on forever, up here fall often flips straight into winter, almost overnight.

The first snowflakes could be drifting down in just a couple of weeks, as early as October. And by the time November rolls around, the ground in Levi is usually properly white — sometimes under nearly half a meter of snow. Nobody can say exactly which morning you’ll wake up to winter, but that moment is closer than you’d think.

Hiking will soon turn into snowshoeing, paddling into skiing, and bike rides under the northern lights into walks lit by lanterns. So make the most of both — the fall colors blazing right now, and that moment when the first snow quietly settles over the landscape.

Yep, it’s Ruska now 🍂😍

A week we’ll never forget, riding deep into the wild heart of Fell Lapland.

Endless views, warm meals by the fire, and the kind of connection you only find far from everything else.

Nights spent under an open sky, wrapped in silence, miles from anywhere

This is what real adventure feels like.

Autumn is painting Levi right now 🍁

Every day looks a little different as the forests and fells slowly shift into their autumn colours.

Ruska is spreading across the landscape.

Without a doubt, one of the best times of the year has arrived in Lapland

Packrafting: One of the Best Ways to Experience Lapland’s Wilderness and Nature

There’s something almost primal about carrying a boat on your back through untouched forest, then unfolding it at the water’s edge and paddling into silence.

Lapland is practically made for it. Vast stretches of untouched wilderness, countless rivers and lakes, and a network of remote trails mean you can chart a route that mixes trekking with paddling

The packraft’s lightweight, packable design means water is no longer an obstacle to your route; it becomes part of it.

In autumn, the ruska (Lapland’s spectacular fall colors) turns the surrounding fells and forests into a blaze of red, orange, and gold, reflected perfectly on calm water.

For anyone wanting to truly experience Lapland — not just see it, but move through it — packrafting offers a rare combination of adventure, solitude, and connection with one of Europe’s last great wildernesses.
