Rovaniemi: Korouoma Frozen Waterfalls Hike & Hot BBQ Lunch
About This Experience
This listing is really two products under one price. The entry option puts you on a premium heated coach with professional Arctic clothing and boots, drops you at Korouoma with a route and timing briefing, and lets you walk the marked trail independently - which is why it starts well below every other Korouoma tour on this site.
The Small Group Guided option upgrades that to a heated 4x4, a professional local guide for the full 4-6 km hike, a hot campfire BBQ lunch, a hot drink and pickup from selected Rovaniemi points. Read the option names carefully at checkout: the guide, the food and the hotel pickup belong to the guided option only.
Either way the clothing is the strong point - overalls and boots rated to -40C are part of the price, so nothing about your packing list has to change.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.9/5 by 136 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
Very good experience. Beautiful place. The downside was that we booked the Spanish guide, but we ended up with the English guide.

An excellent hike that you absolutely shouldn't miss! Our guide, Toni, was exceptional; we highly recommend him!

Wonderful hike through the national park followed by a barbecue. Luca had gone to great lengths to provide us with a fantastic excursion. Excellent guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this so much cheaper than the other Korouoma tours?
The headline price is the self-guided option: you get the heated transfer, Arctic clothing, boots and a briefing, then walk the marked trail yourself. Adding a guide, the campfire lunch and hotel pickup moves it up to the level of the other tours.
Is clothing included on both options?
Yes. Professional Arctic clothing rated to -40C and winter boots are part of the price whichever option you pick.
Is the trail easy to follow without a guide?
The classic loop is marked and gets plenty of winter traffic, and you are briefed on route and timing on arrival. It is still a snow-covered canyon trail with a steep section - if that gives you pause, book the guided option.
Is lunch included?
Only on the Small Group Guided option, which includes a hot campfire BBQ lunch and a hot drink. Bring your own food on the self-guided option.
