A Day in Posio – Korouoma Canyon Adventure

For those who find peace and inspiration in nature, this full day journey reveals the very best of Posio’s wilderness, from the hidden charm of Auttiköngäs waterfall to the dramatic landscapes of Korouoma Canyon. You will meet your guide in the morning and begin a scenic two hour drive from Rovaniemi, traveling through silent forests and past frozen rivers where snow and Arctic light create endless shades of white and blue. Upon arrival, explore Auttiköngäs waterfall, a tranquil natural site tucked within old growth forest. In winter, the water flows gently beneath snow and ice, forming a calm and almost dreamlike setting. Wooden bridges and viewing platforms guide you through the area, allowing you to experience both the quiet stillness and the raw power of northern nature.

The adventure continues at Korouoma Canyon, a protected nature reserve known for its towering cliffs, frozen waterfalls, and peaceful forest trails. Following a gentle route along the canyon rim and descending into its ancient valley, you will witness landscapes that feel untouched by time. In winter, the cliffs transform into magnificent walls of ice, while autumn colors paint the scenery in glowing gold and crimson tones. Along the way, your guide shares stories about Arctic wildlife, plants, and the delicate balance of life in the North. After the hike, enjoy a warm local style lunch at a cozy restaurant near the canyon entrance, where you can relax by the fire and reflect on the day’s experiences. Before returning to Rovaniemi, visit Lehtiniemi Guesthouse for afternoon coffee by the peaceful lakeside, ending your journey with a final moment of calm in Lapland’s serene surroundings.
