Your guide will take you through the forests to the best spots where you can admire the spectacular ice formations. In all our activities, our groups are limited to 8 people maximum. It is very important for us to provide you with the best experience possible, and avoid mass tourism. This way, your guide will know you better and will be able to address all your needs and answer your questions. Please note, however it is a public national park with other visitors. As we usually say - the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!

Itinerary

Korouoma is a 30-kilometres long and up to 130 meters deep canyon fracture valley located 110 kilometres south-east of Rovaniemi. It offers breathtaking scenery all year round, with its cliffs, rapids and waterfalls. This natural reserve is also home to rare species, and a great nature area for hikers. In the wintertime, the waterfalls turn into fantastic ice formations which are well-known for ice-climbing and a great attraction for tourists coming from all around the world. Your guide will come to pick you up from your accommodation in Rovaniemi and will drive you to Korouoma Canyon, where you start your hike to the waterfalls. You will have the chance to observe some of the most spectacular frozen waterfalls in Europe and enjoy the beauty of snowy nature. A typical Finnish campfire snack will also be served around the open fire to keep you warm. This is a great opportunity for your guide to show you his fire-making skills! Snow spikes for the boots are optional but may be useful if you need more confidence when hiking down the canyon to the waterfall. The tour lasts around 8 hours (with approximately 5 kilometers of walking) and you will be back in Rovaniemi around 16.00.

Great experience

Our guide (Jade) was great. We were a group of only 3 so plenty of space in the van and easy to move through the forest.

Frozen waterfall hike

Published on Feb, 2025

The hike was a little over 5km, and a good bit of up and down hiking. We were offered snowsuits (which we both used) and boots (which my husband used) I would definitely recommend using their gear unless you have your own amazing gear. Allie was our fantastic guide, she kept us informed along the hike, encouraged us, and made sure everyone was comfortable. It was -30c on our hiking day, but it was still very enjoyable!

An Amazing Winter Excursion! We loved it!

This is a must do when you’re visiting Rovaniemi in the winter time. This day tour takes you out to the Korouoma Canyon and its surrounding forest to see its frozen waterfalls and it was everything I was hoping for. We went hiking through a dense snow covered forest, the kind you would typically only see in professional photos and movies if you’re not living in Arctic Circle. The pictures and videos I got to capture of this winter wonderland were amazing and the frozen waterfalls along the canyon were a sight to behold! A big thank you to our guide, Vero for doing a fantastic job guiding us and making sure we were all safe throughout the whole tour! The tour started when we met our guide at the company office in Rovaniemi at 9 am and it ended when she brought us back to the office around 4 pm. The site is about a 2 hour drive southeast of Rovaniemi so the actual time we spent at the Korouoma Canyon Reserve was about 4 hours. This was a fantastic day trip and I definitely recommend you look into doing this when you’re visiting Rovaniemi in the winter time! - Nolan

Great hike

My friend and I went on a great hike in Korouoma Canyon National Park with our very kind guide Atanas to see the frozen waterfalls up close. He shared his knowledge about nature with us, and managed to find us berries in the snow. In addition to great views and fresh air, we got to learn how to make a fire from birch and enjoyed fire-roasted sausages and marshmallows in good company. Highly recommended.

Great experience!

Our guide Thomas was very friendly and knew a lot about the area and Finnish culture. It was the perfect combination of stunning nature and learning about Lapland. The walk was quite easy with the last part being upwards and a bit harder than the rest. We really liked that we were part of a small group of only 4 people so there was time for pictures without stressing about the rest of the group also wanting to take pictures at the same spot (we booked the late tour at 9, I think the earlier tour had more people). The tour includes some fun slides if you are adventorous, and they will provide you with good gear (boots and snowsuit) and ice spikes if needed.
