As a ski resort, one of our most important goals is to offer our customers fun and exciting first days on the slopes.
Sappee offers slopes especially built for kids (and older beginners too, of course). Once you have mastered the basics, you are ready to move on to bigger slopes and, of course, Alpine Adventure.
Sappee Family Park
Family Park is a family-friendly ski area with 4 different slopes, a sledding hill and a snow carousel.
Family Park can be accessed with any valid day, hour or season ticket. There is also a separate day ticket for only the Family Park area.
A ticket is always needed to get into the area, even if you are only supervising.
Family Park is free for children under the age of 4.
1) Whoops slope
23m / 2m
True to its name, this slope is very easy and well suited for example for beginner snowboarders. This slope is also suitable for our smallest guests, as here their speed won’t be able to get too high. The carpet lift is very easy to use.
2) Cross slope
150m / 20 m
Slightly bigger than the Whoops slope and a bit more difficult than the Sompa slope but not too difficult. The carpet lift is very easy to use.
3) Sompa slope
250m / 30m
This slope is ideal for beginners. Two easy button lifts take you to the top of the slope which is perfect for example for learning how to snowboard. There is also a little Adventure track with soft elements.
4) Fun Slope
When the easiest slopes become too easy, it’s definitely time for the Fun Slope. With its easy slide-over presses, small jumping moguls and an easy cross track, this 250m slope offers a bit of challenge to those willing to face it. Sompa slope’s button lifts also serve this slope.
5) Sledding hill
70m
The sledding hill is the funnest slope ever! The hill is maintained just like our regular ski slopes, and thanks to our exceptional snowmaking abilities, can be opened early in the season. No need to wait for mother nature to provide enough snow! There are free sledges for our customers to use. The carpet lift serves the sledding hill.
Hut
There is a hut with a fire pit within the Family Park area. You will find firewood inside the hut, just remember to bring your own matches!
Alpine Adventure
500m / 50m
You’ll find Alpine Adventure on the west side of the slopes, beside the Mutkamäki slope and Vuoritie road. Alpine Adventure is a somewhat narrow 10-metre-wide adventure slope that travels through the forest and offers several alpine skiing styles to try. It begins in the spirit of ski cross with curves and waves made out of snow. After this, you get to the freestyle part which has presses much like our Snow Park. There is wide and low straight press and a wide press with waves. These presses are safe and easy to slide on. After the freestyle part, the next alpine sport is the most well known: slalom. There are soft slalom poles in the slope that you can go around.
And finally, the pièce de résistance: the downhill skiing tunnel made from soft arches.
Alpine Adventure has energy saving LED lighting which is colourful and ever-changing.
