Kiilopää Ski Event X

The Kiilopää Ski Event kicks off the ski season in the northern fell landscapes. In 2024, this darkest ski event of the year will be held for the tenth time.

The Kiilopää Ski Event features distances for both recreational skiers and competitive skiers.

During the Kiilopää Ski Event, the blue twilight of the polar night and the winding cross-country trail through the snowy forest invite fitness skiers to experience a unique skiing adventure. The recreational skiing route is 18 kilometer long and offers a unique opportunity to ski in varied terrain within Urho Kekkonen National Park, mainly outside the regular ski trails. The route is a traditional wilderness trail, groomed by snowmobile and track planer.

The competitive category route is 40 kilometers long, with both classic and freestyle options. Categories for competitive route are all ages for women and men.

Explore the winter wilderness, perfect your skiing technique and waxing skills in workshops, and start the winter biking season on Kiilopää’s winter trails. During the Kiilopää Ski Week leading up to the event, there is a diverse program for skiing and outdoor enthusiasts. Come to the fells for the whole week!
