About
Ice Karting at Pyhä is a totally new experience that is fun and exciting. It is an activity that is easy to learn and get going, but difficult to master. Ice Karting allows everyone who is 15 years old older, and taller than 150cm, to drive and compete with similar karts. The Ice Karting race gives you something to talk about for a long time! Karts in principle are the same as the ones used in indoor karting, but with studded tires. The program consists of practice, qualifying and race. Please note that this activity can only be done if the weather permits it. We will not be doing ice karting if the weather is +degrees celsius, or if it is raining alot.
