Summer in Kilpisjärvi is short but sweet.  The best time to visit starts after mid-June when the lake sheds its ice cover and the birches slowly turn green.  The nightless night continues until the latter part of July.  August brings the cloudberry season and September is the time for what we call “ruska”, the autumn foliage in a colorful feast.   Our husky puppies enjoyed their first summer and so did we!
