The finest ruska in Lapland, bear watching before hibernation, quiet lakes. Ruska is the Finnish and Sámi word for the autumn colour transformation — the weeks in September and early October when the Nordic forests turn from green to a burning spectrum of amber, ochre, crimson, and gold. In Finnish Lapland, ruska typically peaks in mid-September and can be over within two weeks. Further south, it lasts longer but burns less intensely.

A autumn escapes stay in Finland offers the full range of Nordic nature accommodation — forest cabins, treehouse hotels, wilderness lodges, glamping, and nature retreats — each transformed by the particular quality of the finnish landscape in this season.
