Korouoma and Beyond: The 13 Best Frozen Waterfall Trips

13 reviewed

Korouoma Canyon freezes into columns fifty metres high and the colour of old bottle glass, about an hour on foot through the spruce from the car park. These 13 trips are the best way to see it, along with the guided ice climbs elsewhere in Lapland, with transfer times from Rovaniemi, how much walking each involves, and what turns up for lunch.

“There were 4 of us on our tour. Our tour guide Malcom (aka ‘Malc’) was friendly and seemed very knowledgeable about Northern Lights.
