We like Korouoma winter

Very nice, have been there from 21/02/2015 till 24/02/2015. Weather around -3. Generally very soft ice, but in some places wet.
Finland's best ice climbing venue. Easy access, reasonably short approaches on good paths (unless you're the first in the season) and several nice places to camp.
The best ice-climbing in Finland! Leading up Ruskea Virta is one of the high points in climbing for me. Also Mammuttiputous is really nice colored turquoise ice.
