Driving to Pyhä

Driving to Pyhä is one of the easiest and most flexible ways to experience Finnish Lapland. Whether you're travelling from Helsinki, Rovaniemi, Kuusamo, or elsewhere in the region, well-maintained roads provide easy access to the resort throughout the year.

Pyhä is located in the heart of Lapland, just 125 km from Rovaniemi and 50 km from Kemijärvi. Most visitors from Southern Finland arrive via the E75 highway through Rovaniemi, while travellers coming from Eastern Finland often use the E63 route through Kuusamo and Kemijärvi.

Winter Driving in Lapland

Winter roads in Finnish Lapland are well maintained, but conditions can vary. During the winter season, all vehicles must be equipped with winter tires. Drive according to conditions, allow extra stopping distance, and keep an eye out for reindeer, especially at dawn and dusk.

Take the Scenic Fell Road

For one of the most beautiful drives in Finnish Lapland, take the Scenic Fell Road (Route 962). Running alongside Pyhä-Luosto National Park, this route winds through forests, fells, and Arctic landscapes, offering spectacular views in every season.

Connecting the main highways between Kemijärvi and Sodankylä, the Fell Road is a worthwhile detour for anyone traveling to or from Pyhä. The route adds very little extra driving time while providing a memorable introduction to the unique nature of Lapland.

Parking and EV Charging

Convenient parking areas are available throughout the resort, close to accommodation, slopes, trails, and services. The largest parking area is located at Naava Visitor Centre, which also serves day visitors to the ski resort.

If you're staying near the fell, most services, restaurants, shops, and slopes are within walking distance once you've parked your car.

Electric vehicle charging stations are available at several locations around the resort, making Pyhä an easy destination for EV travelers. Check the map below for parking areas and charging point locations.

Please note: The parking area at Pyhätunturi Hotel is reserved exclusively for Ski-Inn guests and users of the plateau's services.
