Pyhä Ski Resort consists of 10 ski slopes that vary from family slopes ideal for children and beginners to more  demanding slopes that are appreciated by experienced skiers. The most demanding slopes in the resort are said to be the best in Finland and in fact the Freestyle Skiing World Championships were recently held in Pyhä. A ski school in the resort offers lessons for beginners and a ski hire shop is also available. 

The fells in Pyhä Fell National Park were originally formed about 2 billion years ago when they were as high as the Alps, but today they form a 7km long chain with the highest point at 540m above the sea level. The steep arid ridges and deep slopes make this landscape extremely varied and interesting particularly for hiking in summer and cross-country skiing in winter.  

If you prefer to find out about Pyhä Fell National Park from the comfort of indoors, visit the exhibitions at Pyhä Fell Nature Centre next to the ski slopes instead.
