The destination is embedded in the beautiful scenery of the 7 fells with the nearby Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. The 719 meter high Ylläs fell overlooks Finland’s largest network for downhill and cross-country skiing. There are more than 300 km cross-country skiing tracks (whereof 38 km illuminated – literally next to our chalet), 60 different slopes on either side of the fell and more than 410 km of tracks for snowmobiles. The Ylläs fell is also the starting point for exciting downhill rides in the Ylläs Bike Park and for hikes with exciting views of the unique scenery. There are multiple outdoor activities in Ylläs all-around-the year. The destination’s slogan „Ylläs is number one!“ does not come by chance. Discover Ylläs 8 seasons!
