What travelers are saying

This side of the 'fell' (they aren't mountains) has mainly drag lifts/t-bars and one chair lift (as of 2014 when I last went).

Absolutely fantastic trip!

By the end of four lessons the adults and 7yr old were confidently enjoying some of the blue runs and the 3year old was managing greens and to use the button lift independently.

Beautiful views and nice slopes

Skiing in Finland can many times be a bit hectic and short lived experience. But at Ylläs you just might get enough gentle downhill time to relax your mind and concentrate on enjoying. I recommend trying this out atleast once in your life!

Empty immaculately groomed pistes. No lift queues and lovely people.

My husband and I went to Yllas for February half term. We were worried that it would be absolutely rammed as usually this is an awful week to go skiing. It was the opposite. We had the pistes and lifts virtually to ourselves and never...More
