Frozen waterfalls adventure in Korouoma National Park and Reindeer Farm

December 3, 2018



We went to Korouoma National Park to see the frozen waterfalls. It was 5km hiking ( if you are not used hiking, i would recommend the smaller tour) but it was worth it!
The views are very beautiful, you are really walking into a winter wonderland.
We also visited the reindeer farm with Alex and it was just lovely!
Alex is very kind, he tells you stories about the farmers, the animals, ... with a cup of coffee.
And then of course you have the reindeers. You can feed them, take pictures, a small ride in the forest.. one word AMAZING! Don't hesitate, just do it!
