Korouoma Canyon, located 110 kilometres southeast of Rovaniemi, is a stunning 30-kilometre-long and up to 130-meter-deep fracture valley offering breathtaking scenery year-round. With its cliffs, rapids, and waterfalls, this natural reserve is a haven for hikers and home to rare species. In winter, the waterfalls freeze into magnificent ice formations, making the area a popular spot for ice climbers and nature-loving tourists from around the world.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive to the canyon, where your guide will lead you on a peaceful hike through the Arctic wilderness. Each season transforms Korouoma into a unique natural wonder—from the lush green tranquility of spring and summer to the vibrant colors of autumn, known locally as "Ruska," when the forest turns golden and fiery before the snow sets in. As you explore the canyon, your guide will help you spot wildlife tracks and teach you about the surrounding flora and fauna, with the chance to see signs of wolves, lynx, wolverines, moose, reindeer, or Arctic hares.
Midway through the hike, you’ll gather around an open fire for a traditional Finnish barbecue snack and hot drinks. Your guide will demonstrate fire-building techniques using flint and natural materials, even in freezing conditions down to -30°C. This break is not only a warm respite but also a perfect moment to learn more about Lapland’s nature and way of life. The full excursion lasts about 7 hours, including hiking, lunch, and transfers, and concludes around 16:00 in Rovaniemi. With small group sizes limited to 8 participants, this tour ensures a personalized experience, allowing your guide to tailor the adventure to your interests while avoiding mass tourism and enhancing your connection to Lapland’s serene beauty.

Although there are no frozen waterfalls in summer, the forest and small rivers are still charming. The forest is relatively sparse, so it can get quite hot on sunny days.
Nature in all its glory. It should be taken into account that the walking route from the parking lot to the place is relatively short, but it is downhill and at the end of the trip you have to climb it back up. We arrived in winter, so it is recommended to have shoes with spikes. The place itself has several places where you can light a fire and prepare food over the fire. The frozen waterfalls are beautiful and you should heed the warnings and not get too close for fear of falling blocks of ice. Definitely recommended
Nice hike to the frozen waterfalls. We walked the bigger round. It’s good but bring your spikes with you. If you forgot them; you can rent spikes for 5€ per pair.
I went with Arctic GM tours. The guide was great and took us on a trail we were the first to walk that day. We saw 3 frozen falls, walked through heavenly bridges and got some sun beyond the trees in the beginning of the day before going down the hill.
Easy 5km hike around, nice views of the frozen waterfalls. We went there at 9am, it was peaceful. But around 11:00 on our way back we saw the place started to get packed. I recommend going early.
