The capping of Huttu-ukko

We begin the Pyhäs May Day by gathering at the statue of Huttu-Ukko and "capping" it. Huttu-Ukko is a guardian spirit in the form of a gigantic man, who is said to watch over and protect the area. Therefore, a statue has been erected in his honor, and it is traditionally capped as part of the May Day festivities.

Sledding at the Family Slopes

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.

Scenic lift during winter

21.11.2025 - 3.5.2026
The PyhäExpress chairlift serves pedestrians as a scenic lift during its normal operating hours. Find the opening hours below the image.

A trip to Pyhä is not complete if you haven't seen the landscape from the top of the fell, right at the edge of the national park. At the summit, you’ll find Restaurant Tsokka, Pyhä Dreams wine bar, a scenic hut where you can relax by the fireplace, the iconic old lift chair, glimpses of the Huttu-Ukkonen art trail peeking through the snow, and a panoramic viewing deck.

Pedestrian tickets are not sold online. The most convenient way to buy a pedestrian ticket is from a ticket machine. The nearest machine is located in front of Alavuokraamo, right next to the lower station of the lift. Only card payments can be made to the machine. Rental shops sell pedestrian tickets from the service desk, as well as the reception of Hotel Pyhätunturi.
