Hike through frozen waterfalls at Korouoma Canyon from Rovaniemi, then warm up with grilled sausages and hot drinks by an open fire.
“This is a 5 km or 3.2 mile hike through the canyon, walking in the winter wonderland and seeing 3 frozen waterfalls. The company provides overalls and crampons (spikes) for the feet which really kept us from slipping on the snowy paths. Our guide, Walter, was fun and informative, taking great care of the group. He was dedicated to taking great photos at different angles of everyone in the group in iconic viewpoints. He also carried hot water to make cocoa in the middle of our hike and cooked sausages for us during the bbq time. Met some great people. I highly recommend this tour!Read more”

Review of Rovaniemi’s reindeer, husky, and Aurora BBQ tour, with practical details on rides, guides, timing, value, and Northern Lights chances.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip to Lapland! The reindeer sleigh ride was serene and magical — slowly gliding through the snow-covered forest was like something out of a fairy tale. The reindeer were calm, well cared for, and the handlers shared interesting facts about them. The husky safari brought a whole different level of excitement.
