Ylläs has 62 slopes split between two villages, Äkäslompolo (north) and Ylläsjärvi (south), connected by ski runs but separated by a 20-minute drive.
Ylläs has 62 slopes split between two villages, Äkäslompolo (north) and Ylläsjärvi (south), connected by ski runs but separated by a 20-minute drive. Äkäslompolo has the livelier evening scene: Sport Resort Ylläs for après and Restaurant Otso for the rest of the night. No mega-club. Quieter, older, more couples than Levi. Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park is the third-biggest in Finland.
Äkäslompolo's busiest après spot at the slopes.
Ylläsjärvi pub-restaurant: taps, pub food, sports.
Village favourite with rooms in both Äkäslompolo and Ylläsjärvi: late dinner and drinks.
Äkäs and Ylläsjärvi are 20 minutes apart by road; plan the taxi in advance.
Last call is around 02:00, earlier than Levi.
National Park covers 1 020 km²; silence is the actual draw.
