Mayhem@Ylläs
26.-28.04.
It's coming again in April! Speedy sports and ambience you will not want to miss out.
As usual, the May Day celebrations take a kick-start with Mayhem@Ylläs. The event, which is soon to be a classic, is held this year for the fifth time. In addition to a traditional Mayhem-setting, this year public will be pampered with three unforeseen delicacies: Snowbike Hill Climb, Snowcross Vintage and Snowmobile HillCross! An ecstatic FSX & FMX show will crown the weekend.
Welcome to spend an unforgettable and racy spring weekend in Ylläs, Finland's largest downhill skiing center! And don't forget the other Mayhem-events – 23rd March in Olos and 14th April in Ounasvaara.
None of these family events have entrance fees. Mayhem@Ylläs is Finland's only event, where you can watch even Snowcross competition free of charge! Other than motorsports, competitions are also free for competitors.
