Info about Tajukangas Stage

Getting to Tajukangas:
Tajukangas outdoor stage is located about 500 meters from Hotel Pyhätunturi. You can walk there from the hotel parking area, past restaurant Mesta, through slopes 4 and 5, and continue along the maintenance road. 

Preparation:
Please dress appropriately for the weather. It's a good idea to bring a seat cushion and plenty of warm clothing. Fortunately, weather-appropriate attire is always in style at Pyhä. Keep an eye on your own and your friends' temperatures. If you get cold, you can seek warmth by the fire in the kota (traditional tent) or walk back to Mesta or Hotel Pyhätunturi. Umbrellas are not allowed in the stands for safety and visibility reasons, in case of rain or sleet. 

Keeping the Mountain Clean:
Please take everything you bring with you back home. Trash bins are very scarce in nature.

Restrooms:
There are two outdoor toilets available. The nearest accessible restroom is located at Hotel Pyhätunturi.
Smoking:
Smoking is only allowed in designated areas far from the stands.
