About Pyhä
Pyhä sits beside Pyhä-Luosto National Park, where old forests, snowy fells and winter trails create a very different backdrop from the flatter landscapes further north. It is a good choice for travellers who want scenery and activities to matter just as much as the Northern Lights.
The area is also home to Pyhätunturi ski resort, so downhill skiing can sit comfortably alongside huskies, snowmobiles and Aurora hunts. That makes Pyhä particularly useful for families and active travellers who want plenty of options during daylight hours.
Our current programme is centred on Northern Lights Village Pyhä, with a mix of family, Father Christmas, Aurora-led and tailor-made holidays.
National Park Days and Aurora Nights
The wilderness around Pyhä gives you an excellent activity base. Winter days can include husky sledding, snowmobiling, reindeer experiences, snowshoeing and skiing, with the national park providing the landscape rather than simply the backdrop.
After dark, guided Aurora activities move away from artificial light and into the surrounding forests and open spaces. As with every Northern Lights destination, nature keeps the final say, but the combination of dark skies and a broad winter programme gives you plenty to enjoy whatever happens overhead.
For families, Pyhä is especially strong because the days can be active and varied rather than built entirely around one festive experience.
Where to Stay in Pyhä
Northern Lights Village Pyhä
Northern Lights Village Pyhä is our main base here and offers a wider range of accommodation styles than many travellers expect, including Aurora Cabins, suites and forest-based options. The property is designed around winter activities and easy access to the surrounding fell scenery.
It works particularly well for families, but there are also Aurora-focused programmes for adults and couples who simply like the idea of combining a national park setting with glass-roofed accommodation.
Best for: families, skiing, active winter holidays, Father Christmas and travellers who want National Park scenery.
