Korouoma National Park & Frozen Waterfalls

Korouoma is a remarkable 30-kilometer-long geological fracture valley located in Posio, Finland. It forms part of an ancient fracture zone in the bedrock, which dates back hundreds of millions of years. The valley is characterized by its dramatic gorge at the center, featuring towering cliff faces that rise sharply from the valley floor. This unique geological formation offers stunning views and a sense of the region’s deep natural history, making it a fascinating destination for nature enthusiasts and geologists alike.

During the summer months, small streams cascade down the cliffs, creating a picturesque waterfall landscape. In winter, these streams freeze into spectacular ice formations, transforming Korouoma into Finland’s premier ice climbing destination. The frozen waterfalls and rugged cliffs attract adventurers from near and far, offering both a challenging climbing experience and an opportunity to witness the raw beauty of Arctic landscapes in their frozen state.
