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!

Things to do in Ylläsrinne

Your Lapland holiday wouldn't be complete without some exciting winter excursions. We have a range of activities available to pre-book, which allow you to immerse yourself in the unique Lappish culture and traditions of the region. 

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!

Duration: 2 hours

  • Each husky team is usually shared by two adults or one adult and two children: one adult will drive the sleigh, and the other(s) will ride as a passenger
  • Halfway through the ride, adults have the option to swap roles (driver and passenger)
  • Children will always sit as passengers in the sleigh for safety reasons

Visit a traditional reindeer farm, where you’ll meet these gentle creatures and discover their special place in Lapland’s festive traditions.

Along the way, learn about the Sámi people and how they have lived in harmony with the native reindeer for generations. This truly special and authentic Lapland experience is perfect for creating unforgettable Christmas memories.

Children will travel safely in a sleigh pulled behind the guide, while adults can choose to share a snowmobile or drive solo.
