Take your vacation in Finland to new heights while enjoying a rush of adrenaline and join this safe and exciting excursion, ice climbing in Pyhä! Welcoming beginners and adventurers ages 12 and up.

The Pyhä-Luosto National Park is one of the jewels of Finnish Lapland, situated in northern Finland. Home to a vast and pristine wilderness, majestic fells, as well as dense and ancient forests, it is also the location of the famed Pyhä Ski Resort. However, this area isn't just for skiing! If you're visiting this picturesque region during winter and hoping to try something completely different, this beginner-guided excursion, ice climbing in Pyhä is for you!

The fun-filled excursion, ice climbing in Pyhä, begins at the meeting point. There, you and your group (a maximum of 12 participants) will be greeted by your seasoned instructor. After a safety and itinerary briefing, you'll be provided with your ice climbing equipment, including a helmet, a harness, crampons, ice axes, and footwear (if needed). Fully geared up, you'll set out on the 10-minute walk to the Tajukangas ice wall.

Upon your arrival, the adventure begins! You'll receive a comprehensive introduction to ice climbing, ice climbing equipment, and ice climbing techniques. Your instructor will also provide a demonstration on the Tajukangas ice wall. After your equipment's been double-checked and you're hooked into your instructor's rope, it's time to garner your courage and start ice climbing!

Each climber will have a minimum of 2 climbs with a maximum height of 20 metres (65 feet). The higher you climb, the more spectacular the views are below, if you dare look! As an added bonus, in between climbs or after you're finished, you'll be treated to hot beverages around a crackling campfire, the perfect way to warm up in the frigid temperatures of Finnish Lapland! You'll return to the original departure point, victorious and happy with your time spent ice climbing in Pyhä!
