Arctic polar skies provide a stunning backdrop to pristine snow-covered forests and undulating slopes that illuminate before the eyes. Substantial investment has been ploughed into the ski base and ski area over the past few years including a new gondola. Ylläs also boasts the world’s first sauna gondola, as well a VIP gondola for private hire, 11 new slopes and a new ski centre. More improvements are planned but what won’t change is the warm, friendly welcome you receive from everyone and the unforgettable memories you leave with.

Beginners

Ylläs is an excellent resort for beginners, offering gentle nursery slopes and confidence boosting blue runs. The ski school provides excellent English-speaking tuition to teach first timers or improve the technique of intermediates.

Intermediates

Ylläs is particulary suited to intermediates - practice your turns on a good choice of red runs, some of which are illuminated and open every evening. Ylläs is home to some of the longest runs in Finland.

Advanced

Take advantage of our ski leading service and let one of our experienced guides show you the most challenging terrain that the mountain has to offer. Yllas is home to a Super G slope.

Snowboarding

Wide well groomed pistes make yllas a perfect choice to perfect your carving and overall technique, Yllas is very 'snow sure' due to its northerly latitude and also features some great treelined runs. Finland has produced some of the best freestyle snowboarders in the world, what it lacks in vertical it makes up for in parks and pipes so there's still plenty to challenge the more adrenailin enthused rider.

We stayed in the Yllas Loma Cabins and ours was absolutely stunning! it was in such a beautiful area in amoungst loads of snow covered trees. we were just out of the way but not too far from eveything. we did a variety of different excursions and all were such wonderful experiences! would do them all again. tried a private lesson skiing on our last day (we had never done it before) and have deffinately caught the bug. we loved it and want to go back and do the whole sking package! i could go on and on about this holiday but i'll be here all night. i really can't wait to go back-a truely magical place!
