This modest resort has less than 1000 locals in the area, which has resulted in Yllas generally receiving darker nights than its southern counterparts due to the town’s low levels of light pollution.
This means that you are far more likely to get an incredible view of the Northern Lights here than in any of Lapland’s big cities! Whether you’re there for 1 day or 3 nights, you’ll soon find out why they say "Ylläs on ykkönen!" (Ylläs is number one!).
If you’re looking for a room with a view, you can’t do much better than the ones available at the Lapland Hotel Saaga! This gorgeous hotel in the heart of the Yllasjarvi ski centre is set amidst the mountains, and offers magnificent views of the surrounding pine trees, and slopes perfect for skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing.
