Highlights
  • Korouoma th L - Korouoma is millions of years old fracture valley in the bedrock. At the center of the valley, it forms a magnificent gorge that drops over 100 meters below its surrounding terrain. It is the main place for ice climbing in the winter but offers much beauty throughout all seasons.
    During the summer and fall seasons one may encounter abundant wild animals and floral life with stunning views of the Finnish landscapes. Be on the lookout for natural delicious berries and mushrooms!
    The changing altitudes may be a little demanding where fitness level is categorized as easy-moderate. The whole hiking trail (30km) Korouma offers is classified as demanding but this day trip will go on the easier nationally acclaimed ~5km hiking trail. If you are capable of walking up and down, then you can go on this easier hike. During lunch time your guide will demonstrate how to start a fire the Lappish way for your BBQ. Charge your cameras and be ready for Korouma Canyon’s nature.

Additional Information

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!

Beautiful tour - Had a very pleasant day with our guide Timo (or Dimo?). Picked us up near our hotel and we had a nice drive to the canyon with lots of information about the area. We even saw a moose! Nice and sporty walk through the beautiful canyon followed by a nice fire with some almost drinkable coffee... ;) Very pleasant and interesting day. Thank you very very much!
