Autumn Auroras at Jeris

Nestled on the shores of Lake Jerisjärvi, close to the entrance of Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, Jeris Lakeside Resort is an ideal base for discovering the beauty of Finnish Lapland in autumn. Choose from cosy wilderness hotel rooms, traditional log cabins or the unique Arctic Sky Nests, all surrounded by peaceful forest and lake scenery.

During your stay, you'll enjoy a collection of authentic wilderness experiences designed to immerse you in Lapland's nature and culture. Meet the region's iconic reindeer at a traditional reindeer farm, where you'll learn about Sámi traditions, feed the animals and relax around a crackling fire in a Lappish kota. Visit a husky farm to meet the energetic sled dogs and hear how they are cared for throughout the year.

Explore the pristine landscapes of Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park on a guided hike through rolling fells and ancient forests, pausing to enjoy a picnic surrounded by some of the cleanest air in the world. Take to the tranquil waters of Lake Jerisjärvi on a guided canoe excursion, discovering the local wildlife and enjoying the peaceful rhythm of paddling through the wilderness.

During your stay, unwind at the award-winning Arctic Sauna World, where five unique saunas inspired by the natural elements offer a true Finnish sauna experience. Between sauna sessions, cool off with a swim in the lake or simply relax in the panoramic lounge overlooking the calm water.

Guests choosing a 5 or 7-night stay will also enjoy an unforgettable overnight Finnish cottage experience deep in the wilderness. Accessible only by boat, canoe or on foot, this traditional cabin stay offers the chance to disconnect from modern life and experience authentic Finnish cottage living. Heat a wood-fired sauna, collect fresh water from the lake, cook meals over an open fire, explore the surrounding forest and, if conditions are right, watch for the Northern Lights beneath the star-filled sky. During this experience, accommodation is simple and traditional, with shared rooms, no electricity or running water, and a genuine back-to-basics atmosphere.
