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.

AprésPros and cons
- Unique ski experience in the winter wonderland of Lapland
- Limitless options for off slope activities
- Very good network of pistes and great variety for the region
- Can be dark and bitterly cold in the middle of winter
- Limited challenges away from terrain parks for advanced skiers and riders
- Most accommodation a bus ride or a short drive away from town
On the Slopes
The slopes are located on the northern and southern flanks of the 718m summit. On the northern side, the runs are slightly shorter and the principal lifts are draglifts. A good beginner is located at the base, with nice progression to longer blues possible, whilst there is also a big terrain park for freestyle skiers and boarders.
On the south side, the famous Ylläs gondola (it has a sauna cabin for hire should you wish to have a completely unique après ski experience) gives access to every run on that side of the hill. Our top pick would be the long red down from the summit to the base of the Lansiraja t-bar.
- Total Pistes: 55km
- Green: 5%
- Blue: 33%
- Red: 28%
- Black: 6%
- Lifts: 26
- Altitude: 200m – 718m
In the Resort
There are now three bases to choose from as the new Sport Resort Ylläs takes shape at the foot of the gondola. Most people still stay however in the small towns of Ylläsjärvi to the south or Äkäslompolo to the north. Both of these are home to family friendly hotels as well as many scenic cabins located in the woods, but note that if you’re staying in the latter it may be worth renting a car to make shopping and getting to the slopes easier.
Off the slopes, Ylläs is home to a plethora of winter activities. Cross country skiing or snowmobiling over the numerous frozen lakes in the region are extremely popular and you can even try your hand at ice fishing. Tours to view the northern lights and reindeer are very popular, as are trips to visit Santa around Christmas time.
Getting to Ylläs
Direct flights are available to Kittilä from which it is only an hour long transfer to Ylläs.
- Kittilä airport: 1 hour

Scandinavia
Updated 02/05
Southern areas experience mild conditions over the course of this week, with a mix of sun and cloud dominating. A few bursts of rain move across the region, ocassionally falling as snow as temperatures cool off overnight.
Through the middle of the region and along the Atlantic Seaboard, mild conditions quickly cool off, with steady flurries of snowfall across the central mountains and Finnish Lapland. The middle of the week then sees a return of mild conditions to these areas.
Thus concludes our snow overviews for the 2024/25 season; thank you to everyone who has tuned in, and we look forward to seeing you again next season!
