Where to stay in Ylläsjärvi

Ylläsjärvi: the south side of Ylläs

Ylläs is one fell with two villages. Ylläsjärvi, on the south side, combines fell-side resort accommodation with a spread-out village below. It suits visitors who want the southern lift area and hotel-style convenience close by.

Some stays are right by the slopes and others are further down in the village, so the map pin tells you more than the words “near Ylläs”. If your group includes both skiers and non-skiers, check the walking route between your room, the lifts, the rental shop and the restaurants. In winter a seasonal ski bus links the two villages and the ski areas; check the timetable for your dates.

Kittilä airport serves both villages, and the night train from Helsinki ends in Kolari; the onward transfer needs arranging either way. For village life and cross-country trails, look at Äkäslompolo on the north side. Our guide Äkäslompolo or Ylläsjärvi? compares the two side by side.
