”I had the absolute pleasure of doing this tour with Timo! He is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and he explains everything about the area while also making great conversation along the way. The Korouoma waterfalls were amazing. The snowy landscape and views were definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Finland. A BBQ is included in the trip, which was also delicious. Timo makes sure everyone has a suitable option, including vegetarian choices if needed. All in all, I can wholeheartedly recommend booking with Timo, especially if you’re travelling solo!

Warm winter clothing is essential. We recommend layered clothing, thermal base layers, gloves, a hat, and proper winter shoes. If needed, additional winter gear can be provided.

For safety reasons and to protect the environment, we always stay on marked routes.

Why is your Korouoma tour slightly more expensive than others?

This tour is designed to offer a higher-quality and more personal experience.

Group sizes are kept small (maximum 8 participants), allowing for a relaxed pace and individual attention. You are guided by Timo, Mikko or Ari, local experts with strong roots to Posio—the region where Korouoma Canyon is located—bringing deeper knowledge of the area and its nature.

The tour is carefully planned to reach the most impressive frozen waterfalls while avoiding unnecessary crowds.

Unlike many tours, we don’t rush. The focus is on a calm and unhurried experience, giving you time to truly enjoy the canyon and its unique scenery.

Warm drinks and fresh coffee are also included, offering a comfortable and authentic way to relax after the winter hike.

No — you do not need to bring your own traction cleats or spikes.

Safety is very important to us, and we always carry ice cleats with us if we feel trail conditions require them during the hike in Korouoma Canyon.

Can I join if I have no previous hiking experience?

Yes, but you should be prepared for a moderately demanding hike. Good basic fitness and confidence walking on uneven or slippery terrain will help you enjoy the experience.

I have lived most of my life in Lapland, so taking care of nature is a natural part of who I am.
