village of Yllasjarvi is a conventional log cabin resort. The
charming wilderness surrounds this popular skiing center. It has
a large number of slopes for skiers of all standards. It also
boasts of an English-medium ski school. The favorite Christmas
holiday destination has myriads of activities to offer, namely,
reindeer and husky sleigh rides, snowmobile rides and
tobogganing. It is a paradise for kids too as they can engage
themselves in numerous fun activities and can also meet Santa
Claus.

offers various kinds of accommodations namely, the Yllasrinne
Hotel and the Yllas Luxury Cabins. The latter are log cabins
that cater to a larger population of vacationers and are
situated at only a small distance from the hotel.

To reach
Yllasjarvi, one needs to board a flight to Kittila from London.
Before checking into the Yllasjarvi accommodation, one must
gather special thermal attire that will be needed for the next
few days. After reaching the accommodation and having lunch, one
can venture for a husky safari before the afternoon gets over.
This safari will only be enjoyable if adequate warm clothing has
been worn. It will be better to end the first day of the stay
early after having dinner. The next day, the vacationers can
visit a reindeer farm. Loads of fun-filled winter activities
can entertain visitors of all ages, at that place. The
enthusiastic children can go for a reindeer ride in the
snow-clad forest and can finally end up in the herdsman’s
cabin. |

There will be ample scope for fun as everybody can enjoy
snowballing, skiing, tobogganing and kick sledging. The kids can
make Christmas adornments and can bake cookies and buns. Amidst
all these enjoyment, lunch can be had any time, as it will be
served in the farm all day long. You and your family may be
guided to a nearby Kota, which is a tepee where Santa is
believed to be taking a break. Lucky children can even get gifts
from the fat old man. On the way back
to the accommodation, some shopping for memoirs and souvenirs
can be completed. A sumptuous Christmas dinner will be the
perfect way to end the action-packed day. |

The next morning
can be spent in a relaxed manner enjoying the chilly winds and
the picturesque scenes. Later in the day, a snowmobile safari
through the snow-clad forests and the beautiful landscape can be
a memorable experience.
Thus Yllasjarvi
has a cheerful ambience that matches the spirit of the Christmas
season perfectly and lingers in the vacationers’ minds for long.
