Resort Information

One of Finland's best known resorts, Pyhä is found on the edge of the Arctic Circle in Lapland within the Pyhätunturi National Park, an area of unspoilt and dramatic landscapes. It is a wilderness of frozen lakes and snow covered forests and is totally unspoilt offering a unique adventure skiing adventure. Pyhä (pronounced 'poo-ha') offers a different skiing experience with downhill and cross-country skiing as well as other winter pursuits to keep you occupied. Phyä will suit those looking for an all-round winter holiday with a distinctive Lapp flavour.

Après Ski

The après ski is always a lively affair, with plenty of music. Try Ski Bistro, the Hotel Pyhä's après ski bar often with live music.

Activities

Plenty of winter activities. Snowmobiling includes the full arctic suits, boots, helmets and a valid driving license is required for the driver. There are activities for children including husky sledding and visits in December to see Santa.

Eating out

There is a choice of restaurants. Sample the region's local specialities particularly the fish and game where master chefs cook up dream delicacies with vegetables, berries and mushrooms.

Other amenities

Ice fishing is unusual but a fun pastime. You can also visit the nearby Amethyst Mines or even Santa's Grotto.
