Every year, when silence begins to envelop our mountains, golden autumn makes its entrance and shines down on little Scandinavia. The forests are adorned with a thousand and one shimmering colours, the scents of humus and mushrooms rise from the damp ground, cottony mists envelop the mountains and the days grow shorter. A new world awakens.
