True Lapland, located in the countryside of Rovaniemi, about 30 km from Santa Claus Village, offers authentic and responsible experiences in the heart of Lapland – far from mass tourism and close to real Arctic life. The core of the operation is locality, respect for nature, and unhurried activities in small groups. Guests are invited to experience Lapland as locals do: in silent forests, under the northern lights, by an open fire, following the rhythm of the seasons.
True Lapland provides tailor-made nature and outdoor experiences such as northern lights tours, snowshoeing, ice fishing, and traditional wilderness skills. Each experience is carefully adapted to the wishes of the guests and current weather conditions, with safety and authenticity always coming first. Local stories, traditions, and the northern way of life are naturally woven into everything that is done.
True Lapland is not just an activity provider, but a complete Lapland experience – calm, honest, and memorable. If you want to truly see and feel the real Lapland, you are in the right place.
Korouoma Wilderness Café is a family-run business from Posio, located within the Korouoma Nature Reserve, about a 1.5-hour drive from Santa Claus Village. Our guided tours to the frozen waterfalls from Rovaniemi take guests into landscapes where our family has lived, grown, and travelled for generations. Along the way, guests hear local stories about the history of Korouoma and life in the area, and the experience culminates in traditional Lapland-style treats, enjoyed in the café’s unique atmosphere.
The cozy café’s food is made entirely from scratch using local ingredients, with roots in the traditional cuisine of northeastern and eastern Lapland. Warm hospitality and respect for nature guide all activities.
Accommodation is also available: two cabins at the trailhead and two wilderness huts deeper in the canyon. Catering services are offered as well, from campfire meals to cozy dinners and larger celebrations, including in remote locations.
Korouoma offers experiences throughout the year – frozen waterfalls in winter, flowing waters in spring, lush groves in summer, and the vibrant colours of autumn foliage.

The route is designed to evoke a sense of eerie storytelling, blending theatrical elements with visual surprises along the way.
The trail doesn’t base on jump scares, but is rather built to spark imagination and curiosity. It’s ideal for those looking for something different, atmospheric, and creatively unsettling.
After the walk, you’ll visit The Gallery of Dark Arts, a unique gallery featuring horror-inspired artwork, ghost-themed sculptures, and other odd pieces.
