Did you know that there is a winter near Helsinki, even if it rains at your home or backyard. Yes, dozens of snow cannons are taking care that you can enjoy a great snowy winter day in Talma Ski!
It takes only around 30 minutes from Helsinki or Vantaa by car to Talma, which is located in Sipoo municipality, just a few kilometres from Kerava, or Highway 4, towards east.
Well, the snow cannons have mainly done their job for this season. All the slopes are open!

The slopes are now in good shape and fully open, including 2 snow parks and Werneri Park for the whole family. Werneri Park is the area one can use Talma’s sledges, toboggans, snow tubes, stigas etc. - and go downhill by them! A carpet lift pulls you up on the top of the hill.
There are totally 7 ski lifts in Talma Ski. Two of them are carpet lifts on practising slopes and in Werneri Park. So, you don’t need any equipment of your own for the Werneri Park, maybe some sausages to grill... Or then you can choose the Talma Ski Restaurant nearby as well!
Five remaining lifts consist of four telescope lifts (on both sides of the main slope) and a ring lift. They are easy to use as well.
Werneri Park in the evening. One need a ticket (from 4-year-olds to adults), or you can choose a family ticket - also skiing tickets are valid to Werneri. Rasmus and Jere were serving people in the Ski Shop / rental. Photos: LikeFinland.com
Of course, there is a ski and snowboard rental service in the same building as ticket sales. You can find a Talma Ski School service desk there too. The ski school is active in Talma with several skiing instructors in different languages, and Talma Ski was chosen as the Local Resort of the year 2020 in Finland by the Finnish Ski Area Association.
However, one should book the skiing lesson in advance if needed. There are both individual and group lessons available, from kids to adults. And practising is done on a slope with the guidance of skilled instructors.

We - 2 kids and 1 adult - enjoyed a Talma day by skis, both own and rented. When kids are growing, it’s easy also to rent if you are not so active to ski. The rental equipment is new or newish, and what’s the best is that the skiing helmet is included in the rental set too.
After downhill skiing we enjoyed the meals, both soup, nuggets and french fries, in Talma Ski Restaurant. Finally we went to the Werneri Park going downhill by snow tubes and carpets!
It was a funny and sporty outdoor day in the early December of 2021 for us.

Did you know that the height of Talma hill is 55 metres, and there are slopes and snow parks both in front and back sides of the main hill. Practising slopes and Werneri Park are located right next to the ski center.
