Midsummer in Ylläs fell

Welcome to celebrate Midsummer!

During Midsummer weekend (fri-sat), there’s fun for the whole family.

Activities include the Strava King contest in the bike park and the "Worst Rider of Ylläs" race on the pump track. Naturally, the evening includes a bonfire on top of the fell, yard games, music, and biking session for kids.

On Friday, June 20th

-The gondola is open until 9:00 PM, and the Kammi Restaurant at the top will be open until the evening.

-Bonfire on the top at 6pm.

-BistroHissi, located at the lower lift station, stays open late into the night with evening entertainment.

-"Worst Rider in Ylläs" race at 15:00 on the Pump Track – sign up on-site!

This race isn’t for masters, it’s for masterful mess-ups! The Worst Rider competition is all about finding the most entertainingly awful cyclist — all in good fun.

Inspired by the classic reality show “Finland’s Worst Driver,” this version moves the action to bikes and the pump track! The challenge is wild: competitors ride a special bike while wearing a helmet fitted with two drink holders — and the drinks splash like October rain in the middle of a sunny Midsummer.

The goal: complete the track as fast, creatively, and spill-free as possible. But no worries — spills and thrills are half the fun! Who’s got the best balance, softest turns, and the steadiest helmet? Let’s find out on the pump track!

Categories:

• Kids’ series (bring your own bike and helmet!)

• Adults’ series (surprise bike!)

Welcome to ride, laugh, and cheer!
