Accommodation Overview
Just a snowball’s throw from the ski lifts, the hotel is ideal for families and first-time skiers looking to explore gentle slopes in a calm, uncrowded setting. With ski school, equipment hire, and beginner-friendly pistes right on your doorstep, it’s easy to combine Arctic outdoor fun with unforgettable Christmas moments.
Spend your days carving down powdery slopes or try your hand at timeless Lapland experiences — from husky sledding through silent forests to reindeer safaris beneath pale winter skies. And of course, no festive trip would be complete without a magical visit to see Santa himself, tucked away in his charming hideaway just a short journey from the hotel.
After a day in the snow, unwind in the hotel’s welcoming wellness centre. Soothe tired muscles in the sauna, enjoy a dip in the indoor pool, or sink into the bubbling hot tub as snowflakes fall outside. Little ones will love the children’s splash pool, while parents can indulge in a massage or relaxing spa treatment for the ultimate wind-down.
As evening settles in, head to the inviting Fireplace Bar to warm up with a mug of hot chocolate or a glass of festive mulled wine. Share stories of your day — whether it was your child’s first ski lesson or a magical moment with Santa—before gathering for a delicious three-course buffet at the Biegga Restaurant, where sweeping views of the snow-covered fells add an extra touch of wonder.
For a truly special dining experience, book a table at the Tsohka à la carte restaurant, where locally sourced Lappish ingredients meet festive flair. Guests enjoy an exclusive discount here — just let reception know by 6pm the night before.
Whether you're a snow lover, a Santa seeker, or both, Ylläs Saaga Hotel is your gateway to a Christmas filled with wonder, warmth, and winter magic.
