“The waterfalls are 100% worth it and the nature around them was just beautiful! We were picked up at our hotel and the hike itself was not too challenging (a person with average even low fitness could do it) some parts of the trail are very icy and therefore, very slippery so keep that in mind. Our guide Hugo was nice and made sure to tell us some facts about lapland and the canyon, which I appreciated very much. He answered all of our questions, made sure everyone was safe and grilled our lunch!”
