At the crest of Pyhä Fell the PyhäExpress chairlift delivers you above a hush of snow and low winter light.

Conservation
Stay on guided routes, avoid disturbing reindeer and pack out all waste—fragile tundra and lichen recover slowly from trampling.

Layer for changing conditions
Temperatures and wind exposure change quickly on the ridge—wear moisture-wicking base layers, an insulating midlayer and a windproof outer shell.
