OUR WINTER HOLIDAY WEEK IN YLLÄS NATIONAL PARK
AVAILABLE EVERY SATURDAY!
DECEMBER – APRIL
Our Winter Holiday Week in Lapland is a package including accommodation in one of our private chalets in the middle of the forest, as well as seven unmissable winter outdoor activities with a professional and private guide. It also includes airport transfers from Kittilä, and a grocery shopping session in a local supermarket. You may add extra activities and services to the package as well.
You will spend your holiday in a peaceful area next to the Pallas-Yllästunturi National park, famous for its clean air and beautiful landscapes. The wilderness is right at your doorstep! You can access cross-country skiing tracks from right outside the cabin or enjoy private outdoor hot tub & sauna at your chalet.
During your stay, you will enjoy our carefully crafted activity program, which brings together winter outdoor activities, getting to know arctic animals, and discovering local culture and cuisine. All this with a personal guide, who will make sure that the experiences are adapted to your needs. We also included free days in your programme for a more balanced holiday, but we can organise extra activities for you during that time if you wish – this is your holiday!

ABOUT YLLÄS
Located on both sides of the Yllästunturi fell, the villages of Ylläsjärvi and Äkäslompolo offer a good basecamp for nature experiences all year round. In winter, the ski slopes and snowy landscapes are a paradise for travelers in search of thrilling adventures like snowshoe treks, snowmobile safaris, skiing… In summer and autumn, hikers and paddle-lovers can explore the beautiful quiet landscapes of the national park at their own pace.
Overall, Ylläs is a destination recommended to those who want to experience Lapland independently or away from the crowd of Rovaniemi. The closest airport in Kittilä is just 30 min away from Ylläsjärvi, which also makes it quite an accessible destination from Helsinki. A lot of hotels and cottages can accomodate travellers, but it is recommended to book in advance in Winter.
