Overview
The Ylläs Saaga Hotel is a modern hotel located beside the Lappish fells - it's right in the centre of the Ylläsjärvi side of the fell, next to the ski lifts, ski school and ski hire shop. The cosy rooms are furnished to a high standard, and have everything you need for a week in Lapland, plus many of our rooms have views over the fell.
After a day of exploring Ylläs, there is nowhere better to relax and unwind than in the hotels own wellness centre. Have a dip in the indoor pool, soothe any aches and pains in the hot tub, or warm up in the sauna and steam room. For the younger guests, there is also a children's pool and splash area.
The Fireplace Bar is the perfect place to come after a day on the slopes to unwind and warm up with a couple of drinks. Later in the evening you can enjoy a three course evening meal taken at the Biegga buffet restaurant, which has fantastic views across the fells and Ylläsjärvi. For a little extra, you can enjoy a meal at the à la carte restaurant - Tsohka, the restaurant's menu is inspired by Lappish ingredients and local flavours.

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.
