The Lapland region
Akaslompolo is a truelly magical winter wonderland with the polar nights creating a pink/grey twilight to the winter days and the spelling bounding beauty of the evening Northern lights, of course by no means guarantee, but this just adds to the appeal. The village is surrounded by the 7 fells of Yllas, the largest being the Yllas fell, which is 718m high. The Yllas fell is where the down hill ski fields are. There are a total of 61 runs 29 of which are flood lit, there are also 320km of cross country ski tracks winding their way around this magical snow covered village and the surrounding woodland. Add to this the other winter activities that you can do and you will very soon find that you run out of time and will be thinking of a return visit.
Yllas is in a unique area of Europe. It is lucky enough to be able to guarantee snow throughout the ski season. This is a major bonus if you are relatively new to the sport, as the worst scenario is getting to your resort and finding green meadows.....not so in Yllas.....skiing is guaranteed Dec to April each year. The temperature in the winter months can vary between -5 and -30, which means the air is crisp and clear but not damp. Take a walk out over one of the frozen lakes, or have a go at cross conutry skiing. There is always an exhilarating husky sleigh ride throught the frozen forest, or a more magestic reindeer sleigh ride snuggled under a warm blanket and for the horse people how about going for a trekk on an Icelandic pony through the magical winter wonderland of the forest.
In the summer months, after the snow has melted to reveal once again the soft green landscape. You can get away to the peace and solitude, where the reindeer out number the locals. It is time to start walking the hills and enjoying the flora and fauna that were previously asleep under the snow. The 320km of cross country tracks now double up as walking, hiking & cycling tracks. Visit the lakes and wander along the crystal clear rivers and streams. There are plenty of other activies such as fishing, golf, pony trekking or why not pamper yourself at the spa. All this while enjoying the unique experiense of the midnight sun. In the summer months it can get up to +30 and the sun doesn't set.
