Pyhatunturi Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Pyhatunturi which includes landscape views, tranquil scenes and a river or creek
Plummet down the slopes of Lapland in a ski resort that also offers ice climbing, cultural experiences and thrilling summer activities.

Pyhätunturi is more than just a ski resort. It’s where you can enjoy authentic Finnish culture and cuisine as well as extreme sports on some of the best slopes in Lapland. Linger in luxurious spas and cycle through the mountains in summer for year-round experiences of the region’s spectacular landscapes.

Strap on skis or a snowboard and hit the slopes of the Pyhä Ski Resort. Pyhätunturi is ideal for beginners. Newcomers can follow the accessible Sininen Rinne trail from the top of the fell all the way into town. Experts won’t feel short-changed either, with more challenging black runs such as Piste Palander and Huttu-Ukko offering high-speed thrills.

Enjoy a classically Scandinavian après-ski scene in the town. Dine on Nordic cuisine before mingling with other skiers at the bar. Equipment rental and ski passes are also available in the resort.

Try other winter sports, such as snowshoeing or ice climbing. Get your heart pumping on a sleigh powered by huskies. Fatbiking, a new craze that involves riding snow-ready bicycles through the landscape, is also popular here.

Escape to the countryside in summer for a tranquil vacation in areas of natural beauty. Ride horses through green woodland and canoe along recently thawed lakes. Fishing, hiking and mountain biking are just a few of many outdoor activities available in Pyhätunturi during summer.

Gain insight into traditional Finnish culture in the Pyhä-Luosto Visitor Centre Naava, which has exhibits dedicated to the Sámi people. Visit Suvanto to see tradespeople demonstrating time-honored handicraft techniques.

The resort borders the scenic mountains and forests of Pyhä-Luosto National Park. Trek or ride a snowmobile through the old-growth woodland of Lampivaara Hill or along the Isokuru Ravine. If you are up for the challenge, consider climbing to the summit of Noitatunturi Fell, the highest peak in the park.

Pyhätunturi is under 2 hours’ drive from Rovaniemi Airport, which offers regular flights to and from Helsinki. Take a SkiBus connection from the airport or train station. Get a good price on your ski pass by booking online deals can often be found outside of peak season.

"Perhestudio saunalla oli loistava. Hotelli oli hienolla sijainnilla ja siitä pääsi kivasti patikoimaan/ katselemaan revontulia. Ovikoodi oli näppärä, joten sisäänkirjautumista respassa ei tarvinnut. Toisaalta minulla oli asiaa respaan, mutten löytänyt koko paikkaa. Jokainen paikka lähistöllä tuntui ..."
