Film festival and a fell holiday in one journey
The Sodankylä Film Festival, held from 10 - 14 June 2026, fills Lapland with films, concerts and the atmosphere of the bright northern summer nights. In Pyhä, you stay in a peaceful setting beside the fell landscape and Pyhä-Luosto National Park, within easy driving distance of the festival.
Spend your days enjoying films in Sodankylä and return in the evening to your own sauna, the quiet of the fells and the soft light of the northern summer night.

Why stay in Pyhä during the film festival?
- A calmer way to experience the festival: After a day of films, you can return to the fells, your own sauna and a quiet surrounding. In Pyhä, the atmosphere of the festival and time to rest stay naturally balanced.
- Space for friends travelling together: The apartments offer a comfortable way to stay together. You have your own kitchen, living area, sauna and terrace.
- More than a festival trip: Pyhä-Luosto National Park, the midnight sun and the fell landscape make the journey feel like more than just a festival visit.
- Easy to combine with a longer Lapland holiday: Arrive a little earlier or stay a few extra days after the festival. The bright fell summer in June leaves time to slow down beyond the festival programme.
