The Skiers' Guide to Pyhä

Great place to go to try something different. This isnt just a ski holliday its an adventure and an experience. There are so many different activities on offer so you wont get bored. This place gives you a real lapland feel and wild raindeer can be spotted. The days are much shorter but the slopes are flood lit so you can keep skiing into the dark. You may even have to oppprtunity to ski under the northern lights. Great place to go if your looking for a quieter resort with no lift qeues. The ski area is fairly small but offers a good range of ability and off piste tree runs. Overall it might not be the best or biggest skiing and apres but for a nice cheap option it really is an experience!

Beautiful scenery, quiet slopes. Ski Park was a highlight - not much apres-ski wise, but a few bars in town. Very family friendly and lovely accommodation options around.

Had the most incredible time Snowboardinf for the first time - the staff were lovely and the slopes were well kept. Good 10/10. Just wish some of the longer ski pulls were lifts or T-bars instead of pucks.

Had a great time in this small, pretty, quiet resort. Our objective was a quiet area with plenty to do beyond skiing, as my wife isn't a confident skier, and Pyha was just right for us.
There aren't that many pistes, with only 1 green, a few blues and reds, and 3 blacks, but they were all very nice and in February were well covered with snow.
The temp in Feb is quite cold, I'd say more so than typical European Alps, which meant relaxing outside at the few restaurants was chilly, but inside they were all nice and the food was tasty and hearty.
The village is quite small and quiet; there are lots of non-skiing activities though eg. dog sledding, snowmobiles, reindeer rides etc.

A fantistic place to experience a winter holiday. If you want just skiing it is not the place as there is 1 green slope and only a couple blue runs. Great for begginers with a great ski school. As it is Finland, prices are quite high but worth it.
