Snowy Wilderness Yllas

This offers a wide choice of activities and safaris, including exhilarating reindeer, husky and snowmobile safaris. The skies here are especially clear, ideal for witnessing the magical Northern Lights.

The resort comprises two genuine Lappish villages set 15 minutes apart connected by a regular shuttle bus: Äkäslompolo where Äkäs Hotel and all our cabins are located, and Ylläsjärvi where the new luxury Ylläs Saaga hotel enjoys a panoramic slopeside position.
