Kiilopää Ski Event is suitable for everyone—from skiers seeking relaxation to experienced competitors. The event offers two routes: the 15-30 km route provides a calm yet rewarding experience for those who prefer to take it easy, while the 40 km route offers a demanding, timed challenge for the more competitive participants.
Held in December, the event takes place during the polar night, where headlamps and moonlight guide skiers through the silence of the wilderness. Whether the sky is filled with stars or the northern lights, skiing in Urho Kekkonen National Park is a truly unique experience!
