A Korouoma day from Rovaniemi means about three hours in a vehicle. The tours on this page use that time for a second stop. They are newer listings with few reviews so far, so read the details carefully. Each one changes the day in its own way: shorter time in the canyon, a longer day overall, or an evening out.

Auttiköngäs and Korouoma

The Treasure of Lapland stops first at Auttiköngäs on the way out, for an hour: a short nature trail of about 2.5 km to a rapid in a gorge that does not freeze, and an observation tower on Könkäänvaara hill. In Korouoma the walk is about 2.5–3 km to the two icefalls the listing calls Brown River and Mammut, followed by snacks at a fire. In total that is 5–6 km over seven hours. The guide explains walking on snow and ice before the start; the minimum age is 7 and groups are capped at 8. Pickup covers accommodation within 10 km of the city centre.

Riisitunturi and one icefall

Aurora Monkeys spend the main part of the day in Riisitunturi National Park, with a walk to the top of the fell among snow-covered trees, and then visit one of the frozen waterfalls in Korouoma for photos. The walking adds up to 2–4 km depending on the group. Because fireplaces are limited, the break is at a café with pancakes rather than at a campfire. The tour lasts eight hours and accepts guests from 14; the listing marks it as not suitable for people over 60. It suits people who want to see the snow-laden trees of Riisitunturi more than the full canyon walk.

Korouoma by day, aurora by night

Arctic Aurora Experience runs a guided Korouoma hike with a campfire, brings you back to Rovaniemi for free time from 15:00 to 19:00, and takes the group out again in the evening to look for the northern lights. The operator chooses the evening location by weather and aurora forecast and photographs the lights with professional equipment. The day lasts ten hours and groups are limited to 12. The lights are never guaranteed. Dedicated northern lights tours from Rovaniemi, with their terms for nights without aurora, are compared on our sister site rovaniemi-northernlights.com.

Questions and answers

Can I combine Korouoma with the northern lights?

Yes, one tour adds an evening northern lights tour after the Korouoma hike, with free time in Rovaniemi between the two. The lights are not guaranteed; the location is chosen by forecast.

What is Auttiköngäs?

A rapid in a gorge on the way from Rovaniemi to Korouoma that does not freeze in winter, with a short nature trail and an observation tower. One combination tour stops there for an hour before Korouoma.

Do combination tours spend less time in Korouoma?

Usually. The Auttiköngäs tour walks about 2.5–3 km in Korouoma to two icefalls, and the Riisitunturi tour visits a single icefall. The tour with the northern lights includes a guided hike in the canyon whose length the listing does not state.
