Back in the days when Pyhä's legendary double chairlift opened, Huttu-Ukko was built next to it, and the Kultakero slope was completed. These slopes, which are among the steepest in Pyhä, were very challenging for the skiers of that time.
Over the years, World Cup mogul skiing competitions have also been held in Huttu. Speeds of over 140 km/h have been reached on the slopes in downhill competitions, of course under carefully controlled conditions. Today, Huttu-Ukko functions as an easily accessible natural snow slope, especially popular among freeride skiers.
You can reach Huttu-Ukko and Kultakero slopes with the PyhäExpress chairlift. The slopes end at the renovated Family Adventure Area.
Piste Palander's profile keeps the interest alive with its variability, and the steep sections inspire speed enthusiasts.
Before the completion of the new Piste Palander slope, the Polar slope was considered one of the most challenging slopes in Finland. Polar slope still offers high speeds from top to bottom if your legs are strong enough. Polar slope serves as a training slope for many training groups, but also for skiing enthusiasts. Polar slope is a great place to train for fast downhills or enjoy carving turns.
With the PyhäExpress chair lift, you can reach not only the Polar and Palander slopes but also all other slopes of Pyhä. Did you know that with PyhäExpress you can also travel to the top of the fell in summer?
Please note that the Piste Palander slope also has track shifts for training groups throughout the winter.
The Blue slope offers a calmer alternative to the Polar slope for enjoying Pyhä's 280-meter height difference. For beginners, the Blue slope is a great slope for training.
You can get to the Blue slope with the PyhäExpress chair lift or, if you wish, with the three-person chair lift, from where the Huippu lift takes you all the way up. The chair lift is comfortably sheltered by the trees, so in windy weather, you can enjoy the lower part of the slope.
After halfway up the Blue slope, there is an entrance to the Polar Madness park.
The North Side slopes are perfect for everything from fast carving to relaxed runs. The Forest Adventure invites you to weave through the woods along the mountain’s longest slope, while younger skiers head to Huttu Adventure midway down the blue Family Slope. From the slopes, it’s also easy to sneak over to the off-piste areas if you feel like it.
In spring conditions, the North Side slopes are almost at their best — the sun hasn’t had time to soften the surface yet. Skiers can soak up the spring sun on the restaurant terrace at the base of the North Side. Even in midwinter, the trees rising almost to the top shield the slopes from the wind.
The steep final section of North Slope 6 was named Väijy’s Steep at the end of the 2014–2015 season, after Jarmo “Väijy” Timlin, Pyhä’s legendary slope manager.
The Family Adventure Area at Pyhä offers a variety of skiing experiences for all ages and skill levels. In addition to the slopes, the area has a park zone, making it perfect for families and thrill-seekers alike. The area is served by two lifts: a T-bar and a platter lift.
The popular Mini Park features smaller jumps, rails, and presses, while the nearby Pikku-Ukko has a corner and larger jumps. This area attracts both beginner freestyle enthusiasts and seasoned pros.
The Family Adventure area is also home to the cozy Huttu Hut, offering stunning views of the Kultakero slopes and Huttu-Ukko. Near the hut, you can enjoy a fun sledding hill.
Gentle forest runs in the Family Adventure area provide an ideal introduction to the world of off-piste skiing. Pyhä Ski School runs beginner-friendly freeride courses that start in the soft forest terrain of the Family Adventure area and gradually continue onto Pyhä’s more varied freeride slopes as skills grow.
Between the Polar slope and the Blue slope is Polar Madness. The favourite area of snowboarders and freeriders hides traditional park jumps and transition elements familiar from snowboarding and skicross sports. The Polar Madness is about 600 meters long, and you can quickly get up to the park with either the PyhäExpress chairlift or the 3-person chairlift. The Polar Madness slope is fully illuminated.
Located in the family adventure area on slope 12, Mini Park is a good place to practice park skiing. The park has rails of all levels, from short children's boxes to large rails and also smaller jumps and a wave track. Next to Mini Park, Pikku-Ukko (slope 11), you can find a jump line.
At Huttumaa and Magic Carpet, near the lower station of the Polar slope, beginners can start skiing safely and easily.
Children's entertainment is guaranteed by several playground equipments located on the slope.
In Huttumaa, it is easy for children and beginners to start skiing. Remember: always wear a helmet on the slopes. Children under the age of 6 can ski at Pyhä for free.
