On the slopes
If you ski Ylläs, there's 61 slopes there are trails and terrain differences for all ages that reach across a 462 metre vertical. It should be no surprise that the longest run across the country of Finland is located here at three kilometres in length. The resort has a nice combination of freestyle trails, pipes, and snowboarding trails to suit every skiers needs.
330km of the slopes are cross country with plenty of natural snow to give you an authentic experience with a backdrop of the perfect scenery. Of course, most people find that they enjoy the day on the slopes because with 29 lifts you can get enough of a break in between slopes to get your breath back and hope back onto the trails.
Off the slopes
When you are not busy on the slopes of the Ylläs ski resort there is plenty to do both indoors and outdoors. From snowmobile safaris where you may see anything from huskies and reindeer you can also try out the sport of snowshoe cross country. If this is not enough excitement you might try out a kick sleigh or go ice fishing to catch your own dinner.
If you need some time out of the cold you also may want to check out the indoor sports hall which contains wall climbing, spas, and gyms to warm up while still working out your muscles. Many people also enjoy playing basketball, football, and badminton or heading out on the town for a great dinner and drinks at a live music bar.
