All of Finland heads to the slopes as National Skiing Day is celebrated in ski resorts. This winter-themed day, organized together by the ski resorts and the Finnish Ski Area Association, invites everyone from first-timers to seasoned skiers to enjoy the joy of the slopes together.

To mark the event, we are offering free all-day access to the Family Slopes via the Huttu Lift (button lift) and the Family Lift (T-bar lift).

Lifts and slopes are open from 10:00 to 17:00. You can find current opening times and exceptions here.

For riders under 18, we are offering standard equipment rental for just €10 from Kultakero and the Lower rental shops. This offer applies to Standard-class ski and snowboard sets as well as individual components, such as skis or boots. Renting equipment from the Lower rental shop also gives you free access to the Family Slopes via the Polar Lift.

Pyhätunturi Ski School will be on site throughout the day, sharing tips and advice for skiing. From 11:00 to 13:00, the focus will be on slope skiing, and from 13:00 to 15:00, on park skiing.

Parking is available at the base of the Family Lift, at the corner of Isokuruntie and Kerontie, and near the Huttu Lift by driving to the end of Isokuruntie.

Sledding at the Family Slopes

5.12.2025 - 3.5.2026
Our illuminated sledding hill keeps the laughter going long after the lifts stop running!

The lower part of Run 13 (Family Slope) turns into a perfect, flood-lit sledding hill half an hour after the lifts close, and you can sled there until 8 PM. The half-hour immediately after closing is reserved for slope maintenance, so please wait until it’s complete. The slope groomer continues maintenance after 8 PM.

Note! The sledding hill is closed on Fridays between 19 December and 3 April. The sledding hill will open on winter when the slope has enough snow.

You can sled down the illuminated lower part of the slope, starting from below the bridge of Slope 14 (Skiway). Please note that sledding is only allowed 30 minutes after the slopes close. You can rent and buy the sledges from the Kultakero rental shop or the Lower rental shop. Pyhä K-market also sells sledges.

Please keep in mind that sledding on ski tracks or roads is prohibited for everyone's safety.
