Autumn colours: when to go and where
The colours move from north to south: Lapland's fells peak in mid-September, Kainuu and Koillismaa in late September and southern Finland in early October. Night frost and wind decide how long the leaves stay on.
Weather decides the trip
In autumn the same trail can be frosty in the morning and wet by afternoon. Route weather computes the Finnish Meteorological Institute forecast hour by hour for every section, and the weakest section decides.
Overnight spots on the map
- Lean-tos, wilderness huts, fire sites and water along the trail
- Elevation profile and length filter
- Offline map tiles before coverage runs out
Frequently asked questions
Does the app predict the colours?
No. It shows the weather along the trail and the overnight spots, not the leaf colour.
