The autumn tours
The differences between autumn and winter tours primarily revolve around three things: nature, reindeer behaviour and accessibility, and the mode of transportation we use during the trip. In the autumn, the colour display on the plateau is at its most beautiful, it's the mating season for reindeer, which therefore spread over larger areas than usual, and we use ATVs/quad bikes as a means of transportation.*
The content of the trip

*The snow conditions can vary greatly from season to season. Sometimes winter arrives earlier than usual on the plateau, while other times it comes later. This can affect the mode of transportation we end up using.
