Spring
May
As the spring progresses, the snow melts and flows in small streams down the fell sides towards lakes and rivers that are freed of their ice cover. The reindeer calve and migrating birds return to Lapland from their winter travels.
Hiking in the fresh conditions of May-June one can almost detect with the naked eye as nature awakens from winter’s slumber to summer’s bloom.
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.

On the fells, the snow covers the ground like a soft blanket. The sky is blue and cloudless, promising a starry night. ✨

Did you know that almost all rest spots in Ylläs have firewood available for hikers? Our favourite snack by the fire is hot dogs. 🌭You don’t need any utensils to make them and by varying the toppings they can be enjoyed by everyone regadless of age. Our hod dogs were topped with veggie chorizo, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup and a bit of greens. And enjoyed with coffee, ofc! ☕️ What is your favourite snack for a hike?
