Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Yllas?
The best area to stay in Yllas is Äkäslompolo, which is the larger of the two main villages and offers the widest range of amenities and activities.

Äkäslompolo village is located by Lake Äkäslompolo and surrounded by fells. It's the main hub for visitors, with most shops, restaurants, and activity providers located along the main road, Sannanrannantie. You'll find the ski bus stops conveniently positioned throughout the village, making it easy to get around. The area is also the starting point for many cross-country skiing and hiking trails.

For families, Äkäslompolo is an excellent choice due to its comprehensive facilities. The ski resort's main gondola and ski school are easily accessible, and many accommodations offer family-friendly amenities such as larger apartments or cabins. There are also several local shops for groceries and equipment hire, making self-catering convenient.

Couples looking for a blend of activity and relaxation will also find Äkäslompolo appealing. You can easily access guided safaris for snowmobiling or husky rides, enjoy a meal at one of the village's restaurants, or relax in a cabin with a private sauna.
When is the best time to go to Yllas?
The best times to visit Ylläs are during the winter months, typically from December to April, for snow-based activities, or from late August to October for autumn colours and the Northern Lights.

For those eager to experience the classic Lapland winter, December to March is ideal. This period offers reliable snow cover for skiing, snowboarding, husky sledding, and snowmobiling. The days are short, especially in December and January, which increases your chances of seeing the Northern Lights. Temperatures can be very cold, often dropping well below freezing, so warm clothing is essential.

Families often find February and March particularly good. The days are noticeably longer than in mid-winter, offering more daylight hours for outdoor activities, and the temperatures can be a little milder. Many resorts also offer specific family-friendly programmes and activities during these months, such as visits with Santa or reindeer sleigh rides.

For a completely different, yet equally rewarding experience, late August to October is excellent. This is the prime time for autumn foliage, known as "ruska," when the fells are ablaze with reds, oranges, and yellows. It's a fantastic period for hiking and enjoying the crisp, clean air.
