Winter holiday begins – Yyteri’s sledding hill is being covered with snow
The school winter holiday weeks are about to begin. The Keisarinpankki sledding hill is being covered with snow for holidaymakers from Thursday, February 13, to Sunday, February 16. The hill will be ready for sledding starting Sunday afternoon. During the snowmaking process, sledding is not allowed.
The city of Pori and local businesses have put together a diverse program full of fun and experiences for all ages! There will be activities every day for two weeks, from February 17 to March 2.
The program includes a sledding disco, movie nights, circus activities, alpacas and ponies, pizza days, and much more. Check out the full schedule here.
In Yyteri, specific areas are designated for sledding to protect the lyme grass on the protected dunes. You can find the approved sledding areas on the map.
