A brief overview
Yllasjarvi sits serenely at the southern base of the region's
highest 'fell', home to Finland's longest ski run. Arctic blue polar skies
provide a stunning backdrop to pristine snow-covered forests and undulating
slopes that seem to illuminate before the eyes. The crisp, dry climate ensures
snow reliability right through one of the longest ski seasons. Whether you're
looking for an action-packed week of skiing and adventures, or something a
little more relaxing, Yllas can offer both. Its uncrowded, floodlit slopes are
ideal for beginners and intermediates, while the sheer choice of activities
means you can try things you've only ever dreamed of. Substantial investment
has been ploughed into the resort and ski area over the past few years and more
is planned, including new slopes and a gondola for Winter 2007/08. On the
contrary, what won't change is the warm, friendly welcome you receive from
everyone and the unforgettable memories you leave with.
