Set your feet on powdery snow and hike past the spectacular frozen waterfalls of Korouoma Canyon. After a drive from Rovaniemi, you'll trek with an experienced (photo) guide through tranquil pine forests and along cliffs up to 100 meters high. Along the way, warm up by a crackling campfire with hot drinks and a light lunch. The hike is approximately 5 km in a small group, with plenty of time for photos. Hotel pickup and drop-off, winter clothing if needed, and a selection of edited photos are included.

Korouoma Canyon feels like a place where silence has its own sound. After a comfortable drive from Rovaniemi, you enter the forest and notice how the world around you slows down. Shaped by centuries of natural forces, the gorge becomes a landscape of ice and light in winter. Water trickling down the rocks grows layer by layer into tall, shimmering ice formations. This is the backdrop for your day: a relaxing winter walk with time to observe, savor the cold, and truly experience those impressive frozen waterfalls.
The trail leads through pine forests, past clearings, and to viewpoints where the depths of the canyon reveal themselves. The pace remains leisurely, with plenty of opportunities to pause and take photos. Your guide knows the route, is safety-conscious, and is happy to share simple tips to help your camera or phone capture beautiful, sharp winter images. No complicated technical jargon, just practical tips that will help you take better photos right away.
Along the way, you'll encounter three of Korouoma's most famous ice falls. Each waterfall has its own unique character. One is wide and undulating, while another stands like a crystal organ against the rock. On clear days, the ice is a soft blue. You'll be at a safe distance, but close enough to see the structures and the sheen. These are true "wow" moments, even if you're not a seasoned hiker or photographer.
Halfway through, warmth awaits. At a sheltered fire pit, you huddle close to the crackling campfire, a mug of hot drink cradled between your gloves. You eat a simple, hearty lunch and feel the tingle in your cheeks slowly disappear. This is your chance to ask questions about the area, winter life in Lapland, and the unique shapes ice takes. Then you're off again. There might be a short climb or a slippery section, but with a steady pace and your guide's guidance, it remains manageable for anyone with average fitness.
At the end of the loop, the landscape unfolds once more. From above, you see the gorge stretching out and the frozen waterfalls hanging like ice sculptures on the wall. One last photo, one last look. Then you climb into the warm minivan back towards Rovaniemi. The group is small, allowing for personal attention and a pace that everyone can adjust to. Winter clothing is provided if needed, and afterward, you'll receive a selection of edited photos as a lasting souvenir. This day will feel like exactly what you were looking for: a true Lapland winter adventure, close to nature and comfortably arranged.
Every day at 8:00 am.

I think this is one of the most underrated activities in Rovaniemi! The hike is challenging, but not super challenging! You should definitely join if you have time! They did a circular walk, and our guide's photos are beautiful. They also provide snowshoes with spikes. The view during the hike to the frozen waterfalls is breathtaking.
It was a beautiful snowshoe hike to three frozen waterfalls. A great day trip if you want to get out into nature. The campfire that followed offered both meat and vegetarian/vegan options. The guide was also very friendly and chatty.
Beautiful walk. Oren, our guide, was very attentive to the safety of all participants and enthusiastically shared his experiences of the area. A delicious and tasty barbecue. Perfectly organized.
Highly recommended.
The agency was absolutely perfect! From punctuality at the hotel pick-up to drop-off. We were two men and a woman, polite and always available. They took us to a beautiful location, respected all our wishes, and took countless photos with their professional cameras. You'd get a thousand compliments, but just say: a truly unique experience and highly recommended.
I highly recommend this tour to see the beauty of Lapland. Oren was a fantastic guide and really took good care of us. During the trip, we took a few short hikes to various waterfalls, enjoyed a Finnish barbecue over a fire, and learned about Northern Finland throughout the trip. The autumn colors were in full bloom, so it was beautiful everywhere. I definitely recommend this hike to anyone interested.
