Korouoma, a fracture valley that spans millions of years in the bedrock, is known for its breathtaking central gorge that descends over 100 meters from the land around it. During the colder months, it becomes a prime location for ice climbing, but the beauty of Korouoma persists through all seasons. At summer and autumn time, you can expect to see a variety of wild fauna and flora, as well as spectacular views of the Finnish scenery, not forgetting the tasty natural berries and mushrooms you might find!
The varying elevations may challenge some, as the fitness level requirement is easy-to-moderate. Korouoma’s full hiking trail spans 30km and is considered strenuous, however, this day trip traverses the less challenging, nationally recognised 5km trail. If you are able to walk uphill and downhill, this easier trail is suitable for you. During lunch, your guide will show you how to kindle a fire in traditional Lappish style for your BBQ. Bring your charged cameras and come prepared to capture the rich natural beauty of Korouoma Canyon!
