You’ll meet your guide in the morning and begin a scenic two-hour drive from Rovaniemi through silent forests and frozen rivers — a peaceful journey into the heart of Lapland’s wilderness.
During this inspiring day in Posio, you’ll get to explore the region’s creative spirit and close relationship with nature.
Visit local artist Miki Kim in her tranquil Miki Studio, where clay, glazes, and soft light reveal how Lapland’s nature shapes each unique ceramic piece. Learn about the slow, mindful process behind her craft.
At the Pentik Hill Culture Centre, the world’s northernmost ceramics factory and an icon of Finnish design, you can wander through galleries and exhibitions, and pause for a moment in the charming café — feeling the calm rhythm of the North.
You’ll also meet a local fisherman by a tranquil lakeshore and hear stories of life shaped by the seasons and the water. You’ll see traditional fishing methods and experience Lapland’s deep connection to nature — while enjoying a fresh, home-style lunch by the fire, prepared from the lake’s own bounty.

Koruoma Canyon tours
Korouoma Wilderness Café’s Authentic Icefall Tour & Lunch
Welcome to a unique frozen waterfall adventure in Korouoma Nature Reserve, guided by local siblings from Posio.
We spent our childhoods exploring these forested canyon valleys, playing by streams and wandering through snow-laden landscapes. Now, we want to share the magic of Korouoma with you – genuinely and with love.
Your adventure begins in Rovaniemi, where we pick you up in 7+1-seater vehicle. As we drive toward Posio, the landscape turns more Arctic—and with luck, you might spot reindeer!
Upon arrival, we provide ice spikes and start our hike toward the canyon floor. The loop is around 5 km and includes a steep descent, a walk along the canyon floor, and a climb back up. You’ll be surrounded by towering frozen waterfalls, snow-covered spruce forests, and the quiet wilderness of Lapland.
This is not a rushed group tour but a calm, personal journey into nature. Safety and authenticity are our top priorities. We know the terrain, weather, and region deeply—this is our home so if you need help for example with warm winter clothing, feel free to contact us. We pause often for photography and peaceful moments. You’ll also hear stories about Lapland, nature, and life in the Arctic countryside.
At the bottom of the canyon, enjoy handmade snacks from Korouoma Wilderness Café: traditional Lapland baked treats and steaming juice made from our own garden’s currants, spiced with the flavors of winter.
The tour ends beautifully with a traditional soup lunch after the hike. In our recently built wilderness café – a cozy log house that will be completed soon, in October 2025 using traditional building methods – you’ll enjoy a warm bowl of soup served with side dishes such as local bread and drink. The meal is prepared with love on site using local ingredients. This peaceful moment by the fireplace brings your full winter experience together – like the final touch to a perfect day in nature.
A Day in Posio – Korouoma Canyon Adventure
For those who find peace and inspiration in nature, this day reveals the very best of Posio’s wilderness — from the hidden charm of Auttiköngäs waterfall to the dramatic beauty of Korouoma Canyon. It’s a journey through pure air, quiet trails, and the timeless calm of Lapland’s forests and fells.
You’ll meet your guide in the morning and set off on a scenic two-hour journey from Rovaniemi, passing through the quiet beauty of Lapland’s forests and frozen rivers. The road itself is part of the adventure — a peaceful drive through the Arctic wilderness where snow and light play together in endless shades of white and blue.
During the day, you’ll explore Auttiköngäs waterfall, a serene natural site hidden deep within an old-growth forest. In winter, the water flows slowly beneath layers of snow and ice, creating a quiet, dreamlike atmosphere. A short walk takes you across wooden bridges and viewing platforms, where you can feel the power of nature and the stillness of the surrounding forest.
You’ll also discover Korouoma Canyon, a protected nature reserve famous for its dramatic cliffs, frozen waterfalls, and quiet forest trails. The route follows a gentle path along the canyon’s rim and descends into its ancient valley, where time seems to stand still. In winter, the cliffs turn into a cathedral of ice, while in autumn, the canyon walls glow in shades of gold and crimson. Along the way, your guide shares insights into Arctic wildlife, plants, and the fragile balance of life in the North.
After the hike, enjoy a warm local-style lunch at the Korouoma restaurant, nestled in the quiet forest near the canyon’s entrance. It’s a cozy place to relax by the fire, taste authentic Lapland flavors, and share impressions from your adventure before continuing the journey through Posio’s peaceful landscapes.
To end the day, visit Lehtiniemi Guesthouse, where you’ll enjoy a relaxing afternoon coffee surrounded by a calm lakeside — before beginning your return journey to Rovaniemi.
