Huttu-Ukko is one of Pyhä's toughest tests!

After Pyhä's legendary double chair lift – which is already out of use nowadays – opened, Huttu-Ukko Hujaus was built next to it, and after that, the Kultakero slope was completed. These slopes, which are among the steepest in Pyhä, were very challenging for the skiers of that time.

Over the years, World Cup mogul skiing competitions have also been held in Huttu. Speeds of over 140 km/h have been reached on the slopes in downhill competitions, of course under carefully controlled conditions. Today, Huttu-Ukko functions as an easily accessible natural snow slope, especially popular among freeride skiers.

You can reach Huttu-Ukko and Kultakero slopes with the PyhäExpress chairlift. The slopes end at the renovated Family Adventure Area.

In the spring the North slopes are at their best because the sun has not yet softened the snow. The spring sun caresses the skiers on the terraces of restaurants at the North slope substation. The trees reaching almost the top protect the North slopes from the wind even in the toughest time of winter.

Younger skiers head to Huttu Adventure in the middle of Family slopes Blue slope, where you can see Huttu-Ukko and his family adventuring on the border of Pyhä-Luosto National Park.
