Recommended equipment : The only possible things to photograph to Inari are:-l'aurora Lights: You need a wide angle rather light (see Samyang 14mm f/2.8, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8, Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 for the most demanding) -landscapes (sunrise / sunset): You can use the wide angle you bought to take dawn wildlife-large (moose, reindeer, etc.): it is advisable to carry at least a 300mm lens on APS-C and possibly a 400mm FF, but for these large animals, if you're lucky you can get away with a 70-200mm (plodding, mind you)-birds and fauna of small dimensions: the objective here was strongly recommended that before it becomes mandatory, do not dare to take if you do not you have at least a 300 mounted "in the barrel", you will not get any results. Entering the woods you can spot the birds, but as has been said, a 300mm (preferably multiplied) is necessary.

Best months : Surely the time when you should go is forwarded from autumn to early spring. This fact coincides with the time period in which it is possible to see the aurora borealis, the only real big attraction of the place. Being at a latitude quite extreme in fact, you will have enough chances to see you!

How to get there : From Italy it is necessary to take a flight to Helsinki (Finland Finnair with the company) and domestic flights depart from Helsinki daily or almost to Ivalo, the northernmost airport in Finland, from Helsinki takes about an hour to get to Ivalo , and from there another hour either (40km away) to get to Inari.

Visits : There are no entrance fees, the only ticket you have to pay (your choice) will be that of SIIDA, ie a local museum is the local fauna and flora and traditions Saami (approx. 15 €). For the rest, all paths are free of charge and free, there are two "tour operator" in place that organized snowmobiling and sledding with dogs, but these are quite expensive.

Notes : Life (if you have already informed you will know it already) is quite expensive, even eating just € 20 you spend forever, should in fact binge breakfast to wake up and be ready for all the activities of the day. And 'practically mandatory rental of the machine if you want to avoid light pollution emanating the country (very much) in the night when you want to shoot the aurora. Board of Inari to go if you have the sole aim of seeing the Northern Lights (from that point of view will not be disappointed) if you have expectations of another kind, is not that idyllic place that you would expect.
