PYHÄ-LUOSTO - THE
JEWELS OF LAPLAND
Pyhä-Luosto is one whole area that is
comprised of two fell resorts in the middle of
Finnish Lapland (only 90 min.
from the Arctic Circle
and 3 hours from the Sampo Ice-Breaker) with
excellent facilities and well organized
activity services.
Modern hotels, spa facilities, cozy log cabins, well
groomed downhill and cross country ski
slopes and tracks,
outdoor fun and adventure rounded off with fine wine
and cuisine, all combine to ensure
a successful holiday.
At Pyhä-Luosto, you can be active all year round. The winter in
Pyhä-Luosto offers skiing, visits to Pyhä-Luosto
Husky
and Reindeer Park and
the Amethyst Mine (the only one in whole Europe
which welcomes visitors), snowmobile,
reindeer and husky
safaris in the snowy forest and snowshoe hikes to
the untouched fell slopes. All of these and many
more wonderful
experiences which soon transport you away from
routine of daily life.
Luosto’s slope services are especially well-suited
for families and for friends of relaxed downhill
skiing. Slope
activities are conveniently centered
near the slope restaurant. In the beginning of the
season, most activities take
place at the Kanda and
Family Lifts’ slope areas. Kanda Swing provides the
skier with a long descent - almost one
and a half kilometers
amidst exquisite scenery. The Street and children’s
sled hill are both visible from the slope
restaurant. During
family weeks, several activities take place at the
Kanda Slope. The Competition and Sun Slopes
provide more difficult
skiing routes. At the lower station of the Sun Lift,
you can enjoy your own picnic lunch at the
Nunnuka Laplander’s
Hut. Luosto’s professionally trained and experienced
staff ensures the safety of skiers and the
availability of
high-quality services.
The trails of Luosto and
Pyhä are connected to each other. A day trip from
one hill to another is a nice experience for
the seasoned skier. A
large number of the managed trails are suitable for
both traditional and skating-style skiing.
There are 170 km of
managed tracks at Pyhä-Luosto, 40 km of which are
lit. In addition to technical issues, track
planning also took
landscape views into account. During the skiing trip
you will be able to enjoy the best parts of the
natural surroundings. At
the "arms" of the tracks, there are nice cafés and
other resting places at suitable intervals.
A small rest and
suitable snack add a nice relaxed touch to the
experience.
The ten slopes of Pyhä
present a challenge to everyone, but Northern slopes
offer a variety for less experienced
skiers also. Pyhä has
invested heavily in artificial snowmaking
facilities. The slopes are prepared during the
summer
time, and no rocks are
left on the ground. This means you can enjoy
exceptionally well groomed slopes at Pyhä.
In Finnish standards our
runs are demanding, so Pyhä has an established
reputation for being the meeting place for
ski enthusiasts in
Finland.
