01 / EVENT OVERVIEW

What defines this edition.

Plan a four-day freeride gathering at Pyhä with a clear distinction between the announced 2027 edition and older event information. The host names the Huttu-Ukko Challenge, Poker Rando and Aittakuru freeride competition as the event’s core formats. Unconfirmed: their final 2027 courses, running order, sessions and start times are not established. All dates use Europe/Helsinki, EET (UTC+02:00) during this edition.

FORMATFreeride gathering · competition and workshop planning guide

The host describes a freeride gathering with competitions and sessions for skiers and snowboarders. Its information page expects confident off-piste riding; this is not presented as a beginner lesson or unrestricted access to the fell. Unconfirmed: final 2027 entry categories, age/guardian rules, capacity, skill checks and individual activity eligibility have not been published or reconciled. Confirm the actual activity before registering.

ON SITE

2027 registration not yet open on the current Finnish event page

Final 2027 event-pass and individual-activity terms unconfirmed. The Finnish event page says registration will open later in autumn 2026; its pass-information page says prices and inclusions will be updated then. Unconfirmed: 2027 prices, availability, entry deadlines, lift-pass inclusions, hire, meals, evening access and cancellation/refund terms are not established. Historical: the English registration page still offers a 2026 Lyyti link and transfer into the 2027 season. Do not buy that past-edition product as a new 2027 entry; verify the edition and full terms before paying. No live ticket Offer is asserted.

04 / SPECTATOR ACCESS

The pin is not the gate.

The point uses the independently mapped PyhäExpress lower-station area near Lower Rental. It is a resort reference, not a confirmed 2027 check-in, race start, spectator entrance, parking space or accessible transfer. Follow the eventual event instructions.

Pyhä’s current travel page lists bus links from Rovaniemi airport/railway station and Kemijärvi. Choose the actual stop: Hotelli Pyhätunturi serves the hotel plateau, while Pyhätunturi liikekeskus serves the commercial centre. Check your precise travel date, destination and both directions with the carrier before booking; a general bus listing is not a reserved seat.

Unconfirmed: the event’s 2027 shuttle, final activity finish, last suitable onward connection and complete return are not established. Evening activities may outlast ordinary transport. Arrange accommodation or a confirmed later transfer and avoid relying on an unverified last bus.

The resort lists day-visitor parking at Naava/front slopes on Luontotie, the Family area on Kerontie and Isokuru, and the North base on Pohjoisrinteentie. The hotel plateau at Kultakeronkatu 21 is reserved for guests and users of plateau services. These are resort parking references, not a 2027 event parking allocation. Drive for winter conditions and allow time for snow, ice and reindeer.

Unconfirmed: 2027 spectator admission, viewing areas, signed walking approaches, step-free access, companion arrangements, accessible toilets and assisted return have not been verified. Ask the organiser before paying or travelling. Do not walk onto a course or into freeride terrain to find a viewpoint.

Pyhä’s published 2026/27 normal slope schedule is 10:00–17:00 for 7 March–2 May, with a separate Friday-evening product advertised until 26 March. These are resort plans, subject to change; they do not establish event session times, each lift’s final boarding or the final complete return. Confirm your base and return with staff.
