Korouoma Canyon Frozen Waterfalls

Korouoma Canyon, located 110 kilometres southeast of Rovaniemi, is a breathtaking 30-kilometre-long canyon that reaches depths of up to 130 metres. Known for its dramatic cliffs, flowing rapids, and cascading waterfalls, the canyon offers spectacular views in every season. In winter, the waterfalls freeze into stunning ice formations that draw ice climbers and visitors from around the globe. The area, protected as a natural reserve, is rich in biodiversity and an ideal spot for hiking and exploring the untouched wilderness of Finnish Lapland.

Your journey begins with a comfortable drive to the canyon, where a guided hike through the national park allows you to soak in the serenity of the Arctic nature. Along the trail, you'll admire some of Europe’s most remarkable frozen waterfalls and learn from your guide about the region’s natural wonders. You may even spot animal tracks from reindeer, moose, or even elusive predators like wolves, lynx, or wolverines. The hike is a peaceful yet exciting immersion into Lapland’s unique environment.

Midway through the tour, you’ll pause for refreshments and enjoy a traditional Finnish snack cooked over an open campfire. Your guide will demonstrate how to build a fire using flint and steel—without matches or lighters—even in temperatures as low as -30°C. This break is a perfect moment to warm up, relax, and ask questions about Arctic life, local traditions, and wilderness survival. With small group sizes limited to 8 people, the tour ensures a personal and meaningful experience far from the crowds of mass tourism.
