During autumn, our small-group tours focus on hiking and cultural experiences in the borderland of Norway, Russia and Finland. From guided hikes through colorful Arctic landscapes to Russian border tours that reveal Cold War history and life at Europe’s eastern edge, this season offers a unique blend of nature, history, and the first chances to see the Northern Lights dancing above Kirkenes.
Autumn is a favorite season for hiking in Kirkenes, with colorful tundra, crisp air, and fewer visitors. These bestselling tours focus on immersive hikes and gripping border stories — including the Russian border hike and our Spy Games in the Arctic tour.
Learn about the Cold War, the Norwegian–Russian border, and the stories that shaped this remote Arctic region. Autumn’s calm landscapes and soft light create the perfect atmosphere for cultural and historical tours.
As the nights grow darker, the Aurora returns to Kirkenes. These tours take you into quiet forest areas and open landscapes where the early-season Northern Lights often appear in soft, colourful displays.
Explore colourful birch forests, open viewpoints, and peaceful autumn trails on foot or by electric fatbike. These tours are perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and active travellers who want to experience the Arctic in its warmest colours — without snow.
