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!
