Description

Set off on a snowshoe hike to discover the frozen Korouoma waterfalls and enjoy a barbecue in the heart of the Lapland forest!

You'll be transferred from your accommodation in Rovaniemi or directly from our partner's agency (depending on the option you choose), then head for Korouoma National Park, near the village of Posio. 

On the way, you'll cross the Arctic Circle, a symbolic place that your driver-guide will be sure to introduce to you.

On arrival, you'll don a wetsuit to beat the cold, attach crampons to your boots and set off on a unique hike through the frozen waterfalls of Korouoma National Park. 

You'll follow snow-covered hiking trails offering panoramic views typical of Lapland. Throughout the hike, you'll see a dozen frozen waterfalls, each more impressive than the last, and then follow the Brown River, which joins the canyons of Korouoma National Park.

At lunchtime, your guide will set up a traditional campfire in the wilderness. You can then sit by the fire to warm up before enjoying a Lappish barbecue featuring a reindeer sandwich, mushroom soup and marshmallows roasted over a wood fire. You'll also be treated to the traditional Lappish drink, hot blueberry juice, which will restore your strength.

After a well-deserved break, you'll turn around to catch your bus back to Rovaniemi.
