At the center of Korouoma the fracture valley forms a gorge with high cliff faces.

We visited the reindeer farm + reindeer sleigh and husky park + husky sleigh. We appreciate it a lot, especially the story of these animals which has been very well told. The reindeer farm has more than a hundred years of history, we were able to touch and feed the reindeer. The husky park was very large and raised over 90 huskies, we were also able to pet and take pictures with the huskies. Alex was very welcoming and informative. Thanks for this morning.

Get your private transport to Korouoma. We will start a tour from the pick up from your hotel. The way to Korouoma take about one and half hour. The hiking trail offers amazing monthly changing views all year around! The circle route runs clockwise along an old horsetrack, and hikers can get in touch with the history of the area by reading the information boards along the trail. The Koronjää trail leads past stunning viewpoints where three massive frozen waterfalls - Charlie Brown, Mammoth Fall and Brown River - create impressive sceneries. There is also plenty to see in the summertime when the area is filled with lush vegetation, vertical cliffs, boulder soils and the serpentine river that runs the bottom of the canyon. Korouoma is also a perfect hiking destination in the fall, when the stunning fall colors take over the scenery - the view is guaranteed to take your breath away. You will need to dress up in warm clothes, winter shoes and to be prepared for a unique experience.

Inclusions: Private transportation, Guide service, Snacks
