Is where you live the best place to spend the winter? Half past six again awards the most interesting winter town!

Half past six is looking for the town, village, parish or locality with the best winter in Finland.

Finland is full of charming summer cities, but now it’s time to find out where the best winter city is! And despite the name of the competition, it doesn’t even have to be a city.

Where can you find the tallest kinks, the hottest winter trends, the longest downhill runs? Where are the best winter events or activities to be experienced? Where can you have fun in the sleet?

This is the second edition of the Winter City competition. Last year’s final three were Kemijärvi, Savitaipale and Vihti, where Half Seven will travel to broadcast live on Valentine’s Day 14 February 2023.

Take part in the competition and reveal to us the best winter city in Finland for the year 2023!

The public will choose the winning location in the Puoli sevent broadcast on March 1, 2023.

Fame, honor and a trophy are in store for the winner – and the best thing is that we will come to the winner’s place to do a live Puoli sättam broadcast in the winter of 2024.
