Max's Snow World for kids

Max’s Snow World for Kids – A Winter Wonderland for Families

Vuokatti is full of snowy adventures for the youngest members of the family! Little skiers can explore Max’s Snow World slopes (8a, 8b, 8c), enjoy the gentle thrills of Hupikukkula slope (9), or take a break in Lastentalo Hupila (Hupila Children’s House), a cozy space for playing and recharging before more fun on the snow. It’s the perfect place for children to discover the joy of winter in a safe and playful environment.

Hupila – children’s house

Take a break and let the little ones explore and play at Hupila Children’s House. The playroom features a ball pit, TapWall, building blocks, a chalkboard, and a drawing corner, offering hours of fun and creativity. Parents are encouraged to join in and share the fun with their children.

Families with babies are also well taken care of: there’s a microwave to warm up baby food and a baby care table in the restroom.

The ski school sales point is also located at Hupila.

Hupila is open during the skiing season and closed in summer.

Hupikukkula children’s area – first experience to the slopes

Right next to Hupila, Hupikukkula slope (number 9 on the slope map) offers a gentle and fun experience for children, beginners, and even adults who want to try a smooth, easy slope. Little skiers can take their first steps on snow with the carousel lift, while the covered carpet lift (50 meters) brings everyone safely to the top – free of charge. Along the way down, friendly snowmen and penguins add an extra touch of magic.

Hupila & Ski School – an award-winning, unique service package for families with children!

In the spring of 2017, Visit Finland awarded an honorable mention to Vuokatti slopes for the development of its ski school and child- and beginner-friendly areas. According to the selection panel, Lastentalo Hupila and the surrounding ski school area offer families with children and beginners a first-class, easy, and enjoyable way to get acquainted with the exciting world of skiing and snowboarding. A key factor behind the honorable mention was the pioneering work carried out at Vuokatti Ski School in developing skiing education at the national level over the long term.
