First Snow

October – November

First snow lays its white blanket over Ylläs in October-November and gives a hint of the winter ahead.

At night, temperatures drop below zero, making mornings sparkling crystal with frosty trees and ground. The late autumn sun still warms hikers in the daytime, and dark night skies set the stage for spectacular Northern Lights displays.

Restaurants

Ylläs offers a diverse range of restaurants during both the winter and summer seasons. The unique landscapes of the area make dining an exceptional experience – you can enjoy a meal on the top of Ylläs fell, in the tranquility of the forest, or by the calm lake. Menu options include traditional home cooked food as well as beautifully presented five-course meals in high quality fine dining restaurants.

Map

The diverse outdoor trails of Ylläs in its pure and beautiful fell landscape are suitable for the active athlete, day hiker, and those with special needs. The only challenge you might face is the difficulty of choice – there are plenty of routes to go around!

Biggest Ski Resort in Finland welcomes you warmly!

Ruska means autumn colors in Finnish language. There are two different types of ruska: puuruska and maaruska. puu means tree, therefore puuruska refers to the leaves of the trees changing to different colors. Maa means land, ground, or soil; so maaruska means plants of the ground changing their colors.

Trees dropped their leaves early this year and puuruska wasn’t brightly coloured. Maaruska is still colourful and creates great contrasts in the landscape. which attracts you more: wide landscapes with splashes of colour or small colourful details? 🍂
