Frequently Asked Questions
What do you recommend to wear?
In autumn time the temperatures can vary quite a lot. On some days it can already be quite chilly, while other days might be relatively warm. So our recommendation is: dress according to the weather!
Some general tips on staying warm are:
Wear wool or artificial fibers on the skin, no cotton! Be especially careful of cotton socks as they will be cold, wet and spoil your experience
Layer up, but not too tightly
Wear tight thermals and on top of that wool or fleece clothes
Thin finger gloves and wool socks are a worthwhile investment for any trip to Lapland, but remember no cotton
A hat, mittens and scarf if needed
And also remember, it can be muddy, so wear only clothes that can get dirty!
