Hike into one of Lapland's most dramatic landscapes on a guided walk through Korouoma Canyon, with a campfire BBQ lunch and a stop at Auttiköngäs waterfall on the return journey. Book a winter departure to see frozen falls or a summer hike through green forest and flowing water.
From Rovaniemi, the journey south-east brings you to Korouoma, a 30 km fracture valley carved by Ice Age glaciers. Your guide leads you down from the parking area into the canyon along forest trails, sharing stories about local wildlife, geology and life in Lapland along the way. Around halfway through, you pause at a campfire for a traditional Finnish BBQ before walking back to the top of the canyon and stopping at Auttiköngäs on the drive home.
At checkout you can pick a winter hike or a summer hike. Both follow the same canyon route with pickup, a guided walk of around five kilometres, a campfire BBQ and a stop at Auttiköngäs gorge on the drive home. The winter departure runs when waterfalls freeze into spectacular ice columns and snow fills the valley. The summer departure reveals green forest, flowing rapids and cliff viewpoints above the valley floor.
Korouoma Canyon lies in a protected nature reserve roughly 110 km south-east of Rovaniemi. Cliffs rise more than 100 metres above the valley in places, creating one of the most distinctive hiking landscapes in Finnish Lapland.
The reserve attracts hikers and ice climbers year-round, but private guided access lets you explore at a comfortable pace away from crowded viewpoints. The nearby Auttiköngäs gorge adds a second scenic highlight on the return journey.
A moderate fitness level is recommended because the route includes elevation changes and some narrower sections on the descent into the canyon. Winter hikers should be comfortable walking on snow and ice with appropriate footwear.
Children aged seven and above can join the winter departure when accompanied by a responsible adult. Tell us about any dietary requirements when you book and we will prepare the BBQ accordingly.
With a private guide, the pace adapts to your group and the canyon's geology, wildlife signs and seasonal changes come to life as you walk. You are not simply following a trail marker on your own.
Door-to-door pickup, an outdoor BBQ and the Auttiköngäs stop turn a demanding day in the wilderness into a well-organised Arctic adventure.
