The metal stairs have wooden duckboards suitable for dog paws as well and the other metal parts in the gorge can be gone around by using a signposted optional route without metal structures.

After 2 kilometers walk you can get your breath back while enjoying a snack and hot beverage by the open fire.

Auttiköngäs is a dream-come-true destination for day trip visitors. The area´s main sight and attraction is the 16-metre-high Auttiköngäs Falls. Auttiköngäs was established as a protected forest in 1995; later it was named a landscape forest. Today Auttiköngäs is part of the Northern Finland old-growth forest protection program. The forest in the Auttiköngäs area is so old that it can be called primary or virgin forest. There has never been any organised logging in the area.  The terrain is varying and jagged. The top of the large Könkäänvaara Hill reaches a height of 240 m, while Ispinävaara Hill at 190 m is definitely not as high but it is much steeper. 

You don't need any experience or special equipment to come with us on this tour, just a sense of adventure. Just bring the recommended clothing, backpack, and camera and we’ll provide everything else. 

Our shuttle will transport us to the right place. Road takes approximately 1 hour 20 minutes one way. Photo stops can be made along the way to capture the stunning views of this scenic Lappish nature and its surrounding.

We start on a well-maintained national park trail and proceed 4.5 kilometres along the canyon. This portion of the trip takes about two - two and a half hours. During the hike, our knowledgeable guides identify many of the native plants and flowers. Quite frequently we see reindeer, moose, red fox along the way.  Upon arrival at the forest camp, snacks will be offered by the open fire. 

Korouoma is a 30-km-long fracture valley running from northwest to southeast on the border of the municipalities of Posio and Ranua. It is part of a fracture zone that is hundreds of millions of years old. In the centre of Korouoma the fracture valley forms a canyon that has worn its way into the surrounding terrain. At its deepest, the gorge is approximately 100-130 metres deep. Its cliff walls are tens of metres high and extremely steep and at points vertical. The bottom of this canyon is level and it is 200 to 500 metres wide. Parts of the canyon have become boggy and the narrow twisting River Korojoki meanders through it.

Wild berries and mushrooms can be freely picked in Finland's forests under everyman's right, but be careful which varieties you pick, as some berries and fungi are poisonous. But no worries, your experienced nature guide will help you determine eatable options. Besides being an adventure for the senses, a hike through the varied terrain amidst unspoiled nature is also the best possible exercise. The berries nurtured by the midnight sun are also healthy, and can be eaten just as they are when you find them.

We take a ride to secret berries’ & mushrooms’ place to be ready to pick up these healthy gifts of nature. During our walk we fill up our baskets and of course taste some berries. We will have a break and taste some local snacks with coffee and juice. Trip is suitable also for families with children.

The best picking season for most mushrooms and berries runs from late July to early October.

Please note the tour operates in ALL weather conditions.
