Autumn colors in Varanger

Autumn in Varanger is really something very special. It's the time to exhale after a hectic summer and breathe in the fresh air that gets a little cooler with each passing day. From mid-September to the end of October, when the frost begins to settle on the ground, it is real autumn weather. The best thing is that you can go for walks in the sunlight during the day and, if you're lucky, the northern lights in the evening. The thermometer drops and nature prepares for winter. The colder and drier the days become, the finer the autumn colours. When you drive through Varanger, you see the plain covered in warm yellow, orange and red colours. When you drive into the yard, you are surrounded by birch forest, which gives the extra good feeling of autumn.

Every autumn in Varanger

Here at the yard, we have several regular customers who return every autumn just to walk in the open landscape, and see nature covered in golden colors as far as the eye can see. They tell us that this is completely unique from anything they have experienced in the past and a must to get that good autumn feeling. Although many appreciate the autumn in Varanger, it is not something you pay much attention to. Here there is a lot of space to take off and you can enjoy nature quite undisturbed wherever you go. Here there is also a good variety in the landscape, whether you want to walk in the birch forest, open tundra landscape or along Norway's widest fjord. The open tundra landscape is completely unique to Nord-Varanger and Svalbard here in Norway. This is why this is a completely unique and exotic experience for many and the closest you can get to Svalbard without going there.
