WINTER TIME

Akaslompolo is a truelly magical winter wonderland with the polar nights creating a pink/grey twilight to the winter days and add to that the chance of seeing the amazing Northern lights, make Ylläs a wonderful place. The village is surrounded by the 7 fells of Ylläs, the largest being the Ylläs fell, which is 718m high. The Ylläs fell is where the down hill ski fields are. There are a total of 69 runs 29 of which are flood lit, there are also 320km of cross country ski and snowmobile tracks winding their way around this magical snow covered village and the surrounding woodland. Add to this all the other winter activities that you can do and you will quickly find that you run out of time and will be thinking of a return visit.

Ylläs 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 Ylläs.....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 trek on an Icelandic pony through the magical winter wonderland of the forest.

SUMMER TIME

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's a time for 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 cystal clear lakes and wander along the rivers and streams. There are plenty of other activies such as fishing, golf, pony trekking or why not pamper yourself with a massage. All this while enjoying the unique experiense of the midnight sun.

FISHING

This is an excellent opportunity to do fly fishing, spinning or trolling for Salmon, Trout, Grayling and Midget Brown Trout in the crystal clear waters of the Ylläs region of Lapland! Our local guide will select the rivers and lakes most suitable for your requirements.
We can arrange either day or overnight guided fishing trips.

CYCLING

There is a 320km network of track winding its way through the forest that surrounds the village of Akäslompolo. In the winter times these tracks are used for cross country skiing, but trust me these tracks are not flat! Or for those with even more leg power how about cycling up to the top of the Ylläs 718 fell, which is as its name indicates is 718 metres high. If you have time to stop for a breather the views are amazing and yes there is a café at the top. With the mid-night sun you can cycle all through the night without the need for lights.

GOLF

The Levi golf course is set in a place of exceptional natural beauty by a lake at the foot of the surrounding fells. The spacious course with its variable terrain offers a challenging environment for golfers of all levels. What is unique about this course is that it allows you to play day and night, even under the midnight sun!
In the summer months it can get up to +30 and the sun doesn't set.
