Finland · TOURS IN YLLAS
Good tours in Yllas fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend four hours searching the Ylläs region for clear Northern Lights views. Your English-speaking guide drives about 200 km to promising spots, takes portraits and playful light-effect photos, shares dark-sky camera tips, and serves hot drinks with gingerbread. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included.
You’ll learn snowmobile controls from an English-speaking Safartica guide, then drive about 15 km through snowy forests, across frozen lakes, and over Arctic swamps. Two people share each snowmobile, with one driver at a time. Winter clothing, transfers, safety instruction, a hot drink, and a sweet snack are included.
You’ll leave Ylläsjärvi with an English-speaking guide, learn snowshoe basics, and walk 2 to 3 kilometers through boreal forest to a frozen marsh. The outing includes winter clothing, transfers within 15 kilometers, hot drinks, biscuits, and a campfire. Rita has led at least one particularly well-liked departure.
“The group was quite large with 20 people, even the guides said it was one of the biggest they had experienced. We were glad to be able to roam around freely. The guide was informative but did not wait to share the information until the group was complete so others might not have heard his stories. We enjoyed it but did consider it would have been perfectly fine to do without a guide.”
Spend six hours driving two to a snowmobile through Ylläs wilderness, crossing frozen waterways, lakes, swamps, and snowy hills. Your guide handles the route, safety briefing, winter clothing, lunch, and hot drinks. Guides such as Rita, Gabin, and Dio have added forest cooking and helpful local advice to the day.

Pick a fell, a frozen lake or a city block.
