This season is particularly well-suited for families and outdoor enthusiasts who want to maximise their daytime adventures without worrying about early sunsets.Alternatively, if witnessing the ethereal dance of the Aurora Borealis is high on your list, the winter months from September to April offer the best opportunities.
