About Ylläs
The Ylläs area consists of seven fells and two original Lappish villages. At 718 m, Ylläs fell itself is one of the highest fells in Finnish Lapland. The village of Äkäslompolo is located on the northern side of the fell and the village of Ylläsjärvi on the southern side. Ylläs has the longest downhill runs in Finland with 37 slopes and 19 lifts. In year 2002 it was nominated the best ski resort in Finland. For snowboarders, Ylläs is a dream come true with half pipes, a Snowboard Park and a Snowboard Street but also popular among telemark skiers and off-piste skiers, with several fells of untouched snow. It has grown into one of the biggest winter holiday resorts without losing any of its typical Lapland charm. In the wide spaces of the clean snow-covered fell nature you can enjoy the peace and quiet. There's fascinating adventures with or without professional guides. Try husky, reindeer, Icelandic pony or snowmobile safaris, snowshoe hiking and kick-sledging. Indoor sports vary from climbing walls to gyms and swimming. A snowmobile track leading to the top of Ylläs fell and the Ylläskammi restaurant 718 m up, is a nice break for visitors. Other resorts such as Levi, Muonio, Pallas and Hetta are within easy reach of Ylläs, thus giving a trail network of nearly 1 000 km of cross-country skiing.
