What is Levi like in August?
August is Lapland's most underrated month. Summer continues but nights darken — meaning the Northern Lights return! First aurora sightings are possible in late August. Berry season is at its peak: blueberries, lingonberries and cloudberries ripen on the fell slopes. Mosquitoes decrease significantly. Nature starts preparing for autumn — first yellow leaves appear at month's end.
What to do in August?
- Berry picking — blueberries and lingonberries at their best
- Hiking — trails are emptier than July, mosquitoes decreasing
- Northern Lights watching — first possible sightings in late August
- Fishing — still good
- Cycling and mountain biking
- Mushroom foraging — porcini and chanterelles
