The Ultimate Climbing Experience Under the Northern Lights

Experience an unforgettable evening adventure at Pyhäkuru Adventure Park, where you’ll explore the mountain slopes by headlamp in search of the northern lights. Darkness, the quiet wilderness, and the northern night sky create a magical atmosphere you’ll never forget.

The adventure takes place on a high cliffside route, where you’ll move safely in a harness through suspension bridges, zip lines, and climbing elements. In the dark, the familiar environment transforms – every step and sound feels more intense. If the northern lights appear in the sky, they crown the experience with nature’s own light show.

All equipment – harnesses and headlamps – is included in the price. You’ll receive clear instructions and a safety briefing before the adventure begins. Please note that the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and their appearance cannot be guaranteed, but the adventure still offers a unique experience of the Arctic night.

For group bookings of more than 10 people, please contact us by email: info@pyhakuru.fi
