Responsible choice
Discover Korouoma Canyon on a private frozen-waterfalls hike from Rovaniemi. After a drive of approximately 1.5 hours, enter the protected nature reserve and follow a route of around 5 kilometers through snow-covered forests, along the canyon floor, and beneath steep rock walls covered with seasonal ice formations.
Before entering the trail, your guide will provide high-quality adjustable ice cleats, which fit easily over your own hiking shoes or winter boots. They provide additional grip on snowy and icy sections, helping you walk safely and confidently as you descend through the forest, follow the frozen river and admire dramatic curtains, columns and towers of ice from carefully selected viewpoints.
Along the way, your outdoor guide will share information about Korouoma’s geology, Arctic forests and wildlife. Pause beside an open fire to enjoy a freshly grilled vegetarian burger, before continuing through the peaceful winter landscape. The experience combines winter hiking, nature interpretation and close views of Korouoma’s seasonal frozen waterfalls, with time to appreciate the silence and scenery of the canyon.

Can I be picked up from my accommodation
Pickup is included in the tour price from the standard pickup locations listed below.
