|
The beautifully designed Yllaskaltio Hotel with panoramic views of the surrounding seven fells boasts a variety of comfortable, spacious accommodation including twins, family rooms and apartments all with private saunas.
Lapp culture and tradition is always present whether dining on Lapp delicacies in the panoramic restaurant or enjoying a fire cooked meal in the hotel’s Lapp kota hut.
The panoramic restaurant at The Ylläskaltio combines delicious food, and stunning views. The seven fells crown the beautiful forest scenery, and a wild herd of reindeer often trot through the snowy landscape past the hotel.
On a clear night the window seats are the most popular with guests keen to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights dancing in the Ylläs sky.
By night, the relaxed lobby bar is an ideal meeting place to sample local drinks and swap stories of a day spent skiing or on a safari. |
| LOCATION |
|
Ylläskaltio Hotel is situated in the heart of Äkäslompolo's nature, with activities and services close at hand, and cross country ski and hiking tracks starting from the grounds.
Akaslompolo village is located on the northern side of the the Yllas fell and Yllasjarvi village on the southern side. Akaslompolo has a skiing tradition dating back to 1930's. The first ski fans were making their way there even before the area was served by a road. In Yllas you can feel the original Lappish atmosphere: in most hotels and cafes you are served by a second or third generation of families. The ski season begins in October and lasts until May. The sun does not rise in winter until late January, when temperatures can be as low as -40ºC although there is adequate daylight. However when cold, it`s normally a dry cold which is comfortable for periods so long as adequate thermal skiwear is worn. By Marsh the days are longer than in the Alps and in May the slopes are still open when most northern hemisphere ski areas are closed and daylight is approaching 24 hours.
Pronounced U-las, this is the largest downhill and cross-country ski centre in Finland with the greatest uplift per hour. The resort also boasts the country's greatest vertical, most runs and the longest run at three kilometres (two miles). Many of the higher slopes are above the tree-line, unusual for Finnish skiing, because at 718m Yllas is one of the highest fells in Lapland.
The slopes are four kilometres (two and a half miles) from the resort, although you can nearly ski all the way back and in any case there is a free ski bus link. Beyond these impressive statistics are the stunning natural beauty and magical atmosphere of the surroundings in Finnish Lapland. The area is famous for its `blue light` in the daytime and northern lights at night. Yllas consists of seven fells and two original Sami villages. |
