Activities
Midnight Sun
June – July
The most symbolic phenomenon of the summer in Lapland is the Midnight Sun, also known as the Nigthless Night, during which time is not to be spent sleeping but exploring nature.
Summer nights are nice and cool and nature is bustling with life. The fell tops are unbeaten spots for admiring the Midnight Sun and the vast, endless scenery.
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 and trails
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!
