Ylläs Ski Resort
The Finnish resort of Ylläs is home to the country’s largest ski area and 55km of snowsure pistes, as well as a huge variety of winter activities away from the ski slopes.
The network of pistes at Ylläs is unrivalled in Finland, both in terms of variety and vertical drop. The latter may only be 463m, but in the context of Lapland this is big and it means the runs here are longer and more rewarding than at the country’s other ski areas. Most are rated blue and red, but there are also two fantastic beginner areas at both of the resort’s bases, as well as some challenging slopes further up.
Away from the pistes and the range of winter activities is particularly impressive – for example there is an incredible 330km of marked cross country trails within reach of the resort. Ylläs is also very easy to get to via Kittilä airport, located less than an hour to the north.
