The Scenic Lift PyhäExpress takes pedestrians and, during summer, also cyclists quickly up the fell to the starting point of the 'Feel the Peak' experience. Jump aboard the scenic lift to the summit, inhale the vast mountain view, and let your mind wander deep into the Lapland wilderness.
The PyhäExpress Scenic Lift is open to pedestrians and cyclists in summer. During the ride, you can enjoy the stunning fell landscapes unfolding around you. The six-person chairlift slows down at both the lower and upper stations, making boarding easy and comfortable. Our staff are happy to assist and provide guidance whenever needed.
You can take the lift to the summit and, after admiring the views, return by lift. Alternatively, you can walk back down from the top along one of the marked routes.
The scenic lift operates during the opening hours of PyhäExpress. Pedestrian lift tickets can be purchased from the online store, ticket machines, or ticket sales points.
One of the summit's unique attractions is the mysterious Huttu-Ukko Art Trail. Located right next to the PyhäExpress lift and Restaurant Tsokka, the trail has been created in collaboration with local artist Tapio Uusitalo. The artworks are inspired by the area's history, myths, and local folklore. Along the trail, you can also swing high above the fell landscape while taking in the breathtaking views.
The artworks have been designed to reflect the changing seasons. During winter, snow-covered trees and frost cloak the sculptures in a shimmering white layer. As spring arrives and the snow melts, the artworks are revealed once again for visitors to discover.
Located at the summit of Pyhä, the 360° Viewing Platform offers breathtaking views of the surrounding nature and the Pyhä-Luosto National Park. Along the platform railing, you will also find a panoramic map highlighting the landmarks and key points of interest visible from the summit.
As you make your way down from the summit along the walking trail, be sure to stop by and meet Pyhä's resident reindeer duo, Hilma and Härski. They usually spend their time in the enclosure from late December until early April. You can also reach the enclosure by skiing down the Huttu Adventure route.
The area also features a lean-to shelter and campfire site, making it the perfect spot for a scenic break and a snack by the fire.
Opened in 2024, Pyhä Flow is Finland's most scenic downhill biking trail, offering an exciting ride for both experienced riders and those new to downhill biking. The trail consists of three sections and is open during the operating hours of the scenic lift. Lift tickets can be conveniently purchased from the online store.
We recommend using a bike suitable for downhill riding, along with appropriate protective gear.
Pyhä Dreams is a unique accommodation experience and wine bar located at the summit of the fell, enchanting visitors with its intimate and welcoming atmosphere. Surrounded by nature and tranquility, it offers a memorable experience that combines the beauty of the northern wilderness with modern comfort.
The wine bar features a carefully curated selection of quality wines from some of Europe's most renowned wine regions, with most wines also available by the glass, making it easy to discover new favourites. The bar can also be reserved for private events and groups.
A Glass, Please!
At Restaurant Tsokka, you can enjoy a delicious lunch or treat yourself to something tasty during your outdoor adventures. The spacious terrace is the perfect place to relax and take in the stunning fell scenery.
The Scenic Hut is located at the summit of Pyhä, close to the upper station of the PyhäExpress lift. The large windows of this cosy hut offer breathtaking views over Pyhä-Luosto National Park and the chain of fells stretching all the way towards Luosto. Take a moment to relax in the warmth of the hut, prepare a meal over the open fire if you wish, and enjoy your snacks sheltered from the wind and the elements.
The majestic cliffs and ancient atmosphere of Tajukangas reveal themselves halfway down the walk from the summit. Here you will find the Pyhäkuru Adventure Park , a campfire site, a kota hut, toilets, and a performance stage that comes alive with amazing artists during various festivals and events, such as Pyhä Unplugged.
The Feel the Peak experience at Pyhä is, in certain areas during the summer season, also suitable for people with reduced mobility. Accessible parking spaces are available between the Rental Shop and Restaurant Hööri, from where there is a short distance to the PyhäExpress chairlift, which can be used with a lightweight wheelchair.
Accessible toilets can be found at the Rental Shop, Restaurant Hööri, and Naava Visitor Centre.
