Discover Santa Breaks in Ylläs

Ylläs is an idyllic unspoiled area of Lapland above the Arctic Circle. It encompasses three villages, Äkäslompolo, Ylläsrinne and Ylläsjärvi, each with marvellous scenery and high-quality cosy log cabins dotted around the woods. This resort really allows you to appreciate the true beauty of nature that Lapland has to offer - the landscape is dominated by vast forests, crystal-clear lakes (which are ideal for spotting the magical Northern Lights) , and rolling fells (their equivalent to mountains) making this resort a haven for nature lovers. The region also has a rich indigenous Samí heritage, and you'll have the chance to learn about Samí culture, traditions, and history during your stay. 

Our Ylläs Santa Break trips allow you to enjoy an unforgettable short break in December to get the whole family well and truly into the festive spirit in the run up to Christmas!

All additional Arctic activities are available to book at checkout. 

Drive your own husky sleigh and journey through snowy forests and gentle fells, guided by a friendly musher. Feel the magic of the season as the huskies pull you into a peaceful winter wonderland – can you hear how quiet it is?

After the ride, return to the kennel to meet the playful huskies and enjoy warm drinks together. A Christmas experience the whole family will treasure!
