Inspiration and train trip tips

The autumn foliage season in Finland takes place in September–October, which is when the different colours of autumn in nature are particularly inviting. Finland’s autumn foliage is unique on a global scale, and the splendid colours last for up to two months. In Northern Lapland, the autumn colours appear on the ground already on the last days of August, while on the south and south-west coast, and especially in the archipelago, the autumn colours can be admired until the turn of October–November in some years. Meteorologist Markus Mäntykannas reveals the best autumn foliage destinations and tells us how the 2026 autumn foliage season will travel through Finland.
