Highlights
The Auttiköngäs nature trail, a captivating 3,5 km ring trail located only 1 hour away from Rovaniemi, Auttiköngäs is part of a forest protection program to for old-growth forests in Northern Finland. The Auttiköngäs adventure provides many photo opportunities and immersive nature exploration, led by a professional guide-photographer. We hike to the summit of a small fell, where an inspiring view of the valley below unfolds before our eyes. We continue to a shelter next to a frozen river. Here, we will build a campfire and prepare a light lunch. Finally we reach the Auttiköngäs canyon – itself a part of the wider canyon that includes the famous Korouoma valley. However, it is the 16-meter-high waterfall, running wild and strong despite the freezing temperatures, that is the star of the show. The Auttiköngäs canyon is an often-overlooked gem of a hiking trail, where you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the Arctic during this full-day adventure - away from the masses.

About Rovaniemi
Rovaniemi, on the edge of the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland, is a river city known for Santa Claus Village, northern lights, reindeer and deep snow.
Rovaniemi is the capital of Finnish Lapland, set where the Kemijoki and Ounasjoki rivers join, just south of the Arctic Circle. The town was rebuilt after being burnt in the Second World War, and its street plan, drawn by the architect Alvar Aalto, is said to echo a reindeer's antlers. Arktikum, a museum and science centre, tells the story of life in the Arctic, and a lit footbridge known as the Lumberjack's Candle crosses the river.
