Additional Information

The minivan expedition to Korouoma Canyon lasts approximately 1.5 hours. The hike is of moderate intensity, stretching across 3-6km. Korouoma, a fracture valley, measures about 30 km in length and runs from the northwest to southeast, bordering Posio and Ranua municipalities. This valley is a part of a fracture region in the bedrock, which dates back several hundred million years. The entire area stretches from Rovaniemi town, passes through the Kemijoki River Valley, Autti, Auttiköngäs Falls and continues through Korouoma to Kuusamo.

A brief half-hour transfer from Korouoma Canyon to Auttiköngäs Falls follows. A 4km moderate-intensity hike awaits, with a convenient picnic arranged mid-route. The terrain here is strikingly rugged and majestic, with numerous 30 meter steep streams that turn into large ice formations in winter, offering breathtaking views and a wonderful interplay of colors.

The location offers all-year-round photo opportunities capturing nature in its purest form.

The total duration of the trip is between 7-8 hours.

Amazing hiking - Amazing hiking into the nature. The waterfall was spectacular and the trip was magical. Our guide Oleg was the best guide we could have! Super friendly, kind and professional. We loved this tour and we strongly recommend it, but is not for young children or people with walking problems. The trip takes about 3 hours for 5.5 km with a lovely pic nic into the woods. If you ask you can also have a vegetarian meal! Hope to do it again one day, with Oleg!

FANTASTIC day! - Just had the most fantastic day with the brilliant Andrew from Nortsav! The trek is so incredibly beautiful and the waterfalls are just WOW! Andrew was very patient and helped us down the slippery bits and taught us lots about Finland. We had a fire and ate yummy sausages and marshmallows too. Thank you so much for such an amazing trip Andrew! This was also a small tour, just 3 of us...there was another tour we saw of 25 people and I’m SO glad I didn’t book that one!

Amazing hiking with outstanding guide! - We had an exceptional day together with Normund, our guide, who shared his eperience, knowledge and passion for nature and Rovaniemi with us. The tour was very well organized, he picked us up from our apartment and drove an hour and a half towards Korouoma Canyon. We hicked our way down through the forest, Normund knew very well the paths and made us enjoy the whole way. We saw the frozen waterfalls and took amazing pictures. Normund lit a fire in one of the shelters and prepared delicious sausages and marshmallows for dessert. Overall, it was a beautifull day and thank you Normund for making it happen.
