Himos Ski Resort - Jämsä

Emma Lotta Kiviberg

Usually we love Himos and come here every year, but this weekend the ski slopes are in horrible state. When coming of off a lift then you have to start walking through snow to get to the slopes. Sadly it seems that the slopes are not taken care of. Very disappointed….. Hopefully the resort will do something about it, because it’s a very nice resort otherwise.

Really good slopes, plenty for beginners and also for advanced riders

Good family skiing place. Staying in the cabins on the hill is atmospheric - you can even ski down

Alright ski experience and worth a visit if you are in a 3 hour radius. Most slopes are more suited to intermediate and advanced skiers.

Himos is almost the best ski resort in south of Finland

This is best ski resort in Southern Finland. Just 2,5h from Helsinki without coffee breaks. There is plenty of cottages for rent in the village around Himos even on the hill. Have been here only in winter but there is also golf courses for a swings to take at summer time. Many other outdoor and indoor activities available around the year like snowmobile and fatbike rides, cross-country skiing, concerts and festivals. Little city of Jämsä is very near and has lots of good size grocery stores.

A small ski resort that has almost everything. It certainly cannot compete with Levi but the close proximity to Tampere and Helsinki makes it an ideal weekend trip destination. With sufficient snow, the resort offers small hills for beginners, plenty of red and black tracks for more experienced winter sports(wo)men and a jump&fun park. The tracks are illuminated and allow skiing long after the sun went down. Some of the lifts are a bit old but new ones are under construction. Plenty of free parking, service people, and possibilities to eat. However, prices for food and drinks are high and the (evening) ski pass could be cheaper too, especially when not all tracks are open.

I visit the ski arena around five or six times per year but certainly miss longer tracks. At least the waiting time for the lifts are usually very short.

The ski resort In Finland closest to Helsinki worth spending a whole weekend. Good variety of slopes and a well working lift system. A large selection of cabins to rent for a week-end or for a longer skiing holiday. A couple of casual lunch restaurants by the slopes.
