EXPERIENCE YLLÄS EIGHT TIMES

Nature is the most precious inhabitant of our region. It adapts to the movements of the seasons and offers new experiences throughout the year. Nature paints the horizon with pastel colors during the Polar night, and the trails with golden sunlight during the time of the Nightless Night. In the heart of winter, nature offers light powder snow for skiing, and in spring, it invites paddlers to the waves of swelling rivers.

The Ylläs brochure is now appearing on the doorstep of autumn, as nature changes its green attire to a colorful festive outfit. The harvest season has come to its end: both locals and visitors have found themselves by the offerings of nature’s delicacies. International guests were also captivated by the Finnish way of berry picking, fishing and enjoying nature’s gifts straight from the forest.

Ylläs has grown in popularity, especially among international visitors. The international season has extended, and visitors from Central Europe continue to come until Easter. The growing interest in Lapland’s summer has also internationalized Ylläs during the warmer months. March remains the most popular month.

The waves of world events mainly affect the maintenance of winter routes in Ylläs. As the adequacy of funds for winter route maintenance has not been guaranteed previously either, inflation and rising costs make the upcoming winter even more challenging. Therefore, we invite everyone who’s enjoying the winter routes to participate in route maintenance efforts: you can support the routes by paying the leisure residents’ route fee, purchasing Ylläs products, outdoor maps, or ski trail stickers, or paying the ski trail fee with MobilePay. Last year, over 650,000€ were spent on maintaining the routes. Everyone’s contribution is important.

All in all, we are fortunate to say that even in the midst of global events, Ylläs is a paradise for people who enjoy both activity and relaxation: a safe and serene place to spend a vacation. Inhale the purest air of the world in the embrace of seven fells and listen to the story that nature has to tell you.

Best regards, Visit Ylläs team
