The seven fells of Ylläs

Ylläs is one of the most beautiful gems in northern Finland. The seven fells of Ylläs delight tourists year after year. Most of the fells are located in Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, a nature reserve. In winter, you can enjoy the wonderful skiing opportunities of Finland’s largest ski center or explore the fells by hiking. In other seasons, the fells offer the most wonderful routes for hiking and camping. The villages of Ylläs, Äkäslompolo and Ylläsjärvi, are authentic Lappish villages, where you can find comprehensive services for every vacationer’s needs.

Ylläs offers things to do in every season

Ylläs is a place where you can have unique and memorable experiences. How about hopping on to a husky sled and driving through the snowy forest?  Or would you like a more peaceful reindeer ride? If you really like to feel the speed, you can take a snowmobile tour and drive to fells and wilderness. So much fun! You can book safaris through us.

Many people travel to Ylläs to see “the sky on fire”, i.e. the northern lights, at least once in their life. You can see the northern lights all year round, but the best time is usually from the end of August until spring. Did you know that Finnish Lapland is one of the best populated areas in the world for viewing the northern lights?

Ylläs is a skier’s paradise, because Ylläs has the best and widest ski trail network in Finland, up to 330 kilometers! The tracks are well maintained and there are several cozy skiing cafes throughout the Ylläs ski trails. Ylläs is also known for the best mountain biking trails in Finland. There are routes for both mountain biking and speedy downhill biking as well as winter mountain biking. The maintenance and service of the routes is first class. In summer, Ylläs offers countless opportunities for cycling, hiking, fishing, kayaking, disc golf and horseback riding, just to name a few. In autumn, the spectacular colors of the fall offer the most beautiful setting for hiking and trekking.
