Skiing in Iso-Syöte

Iso-Syöte's two ski areas on Syotekeskus (386m) and the slightly larger centre on Iso-Syöte Fell itself (432m). Together the two unlinked areas offer more than 20 slopes and about 20km of runs between them, the longest run 1.2km long, all served by T Bar drag lifts.

Although the terrain is best suited to beginners and intermediates with straight smooth runs cut through the trees from top to bottom, more advanced skiers will enjoy the opportunities in the powder fields through the trees. The area's new speciality is the Freeride area on Slope 15 on Iso-Syöte Fell, which offers a challenge to even the experienced skier.

The slopes are illuminated for skiing in the evening.

A ski bus travels back and forth between the fells but be aware that it runs only at weekends and peak holiday periods like New Year's and during the ski vacation period beginning in February. The one-way fare is one euro.

There are over 120km of cross country trails and the area is a past host of the Finnish National Championships. The world's longest ski trekj, the Border to Border' Trek, crosses the area. Most of the trails are easy however and there's a 'warm' run at 400m (a high altitude in the area) that's illuminated for night skiing.

Snowboarding in Iso-Syöte

For snowboarders the resort has created two Snowboard streets complete with rails, boxes and more at each of the bases with a number of terrain features to bounce off and get some air. There's are two half pipes or quarter pipes at each centre, on Iso-Syöte Fell one of these is a larger super pipe. There are also some good free ride opportunities through the trees and off piste.

The constant sub zero temperatures that are the norm through the winter here stop the snow from melting and keep it light and powdery for weeks, sometimes months on end.
