EARLY SPRING

Ylläs is flooded with light in early spring, as the sunbeams reflect off the sparkling white snowdrifts.

This is a gorgeous time on the slopes, ski tracks and nature trails: smiling outdoor lovers enjoy their time with a hot cup from the backpack or wilderness café, and even the forest animals head down to the villages to take in the hustle and bustle of spring.

SEASON’S ACTIVITIES

You can see Northern Lights from August to April

Unlock the white landscapes on snowshoes

There are approximately 50 kilometres of marked snowshoe trails in Ylläs. Joining guided tours is recommended for stories on local life and nature, but snowshoeing is easy to try on your own, too –there are several options for renting equipment.

Top tip: Try ice fishing at the foot of Pyhätunturi fell

Enjoying the fresh outdoors in springtime is ideal on an ice fishing trip even if fishing isn’t your thing. The frozen Pyhäjärvi lake at the foot of Pyhätunturi fell is a great destination for drilling a hole in the ice and hoping for a catch!
