Get to know Pyhä-Luosto
Services within a small area
National parks, gorges, fells and clear waters as far as the eye can see
Pyhä-Luosto has all services within a small area, and in its backyard the oldest National Park in Finland with its gorges, peaks and old-growth forests. It is sympathetic, cosy and tranquil.
The most famous sights in the National Park are only a short walk away: Isokuru Gorge, Pyhäkaste Waterfall and Uhriharju Ridge. You can take part in most of the activities in the National Park or in its immediate vicinity.
Experience and enjoy!
Unspoilt Pyhä-Luosto
Pyhä-Luosto makes one think of serendipity. People hear about it from a friend or stumble on it once they have experienced the busy ski centres of Lapland. The fells offer one of the most magnificent views in Finland. The villages on the hills, however, are tiny and sympathetic.
You can be sure that there are no glaring fluorescent lights or masses of tourists. The spirit of Pyhä-Luosto, as its name in Finnish suggests, is sacred and home-grown. This doesn’t mean that Pyhä-Luosto wouldn’t offer good customer service, on the contrary; everyone welcomes visitors gladly. This kingdom of fell tops and gorges has attracted many regular visitors who have become friends with the locals.
That fell feeling
Over here visitors and locals sit at the same table or around the same camp fire. You really feel like you’re part of the Pyhä-Luosto family. Go and talk to anyone in Pyhä-Luosto and you’ll probably find a lot in common!
It’s hard to put into word what is so unique about the area, but the phrases “tunturifiilis” or that fell feeling and “Pyhä-Luosto Magic” try to catch at least a bit of the essence. Using hashtags #tunturifiilis and #pyhamagic you’ll find great tips on what to do and where to go, and also like-minded people. Join the magic and please remember us at #visitarcticnorth.
Pyhä-Luosto is considered a hidden treasure which is part of its charm. Let’s make sure that the tunturifiilis remains and continues to provide authentic experiences to those who visit the area for the first time.
