We only had one day here but the pistes were so quiet, huge wide runs mixed with narrower beautiful forest runs. Amazing day skiing! Lifts efficient though some long T-bars so be prepared for those. Open til 7pm and lots of pistes lit so awesome night skiing!

Everything was very efficient and friendly, but expensive. It was very cold in the first week of February, if I returned it would be later! The runs are short but well groomed, tree runs were good and off piste variable because of the wind. Food was good in the hotel, which was ski in and out with a little effort!

It was nice to ski in Ylläs because I hadn't skied for a long time. Slopes were ok although there could have been some easier to beginner. Unfortunatelly they had to close lifts in midafternoon because of heavy wind so I didn't get so much value of money for daypass. They could have told on previous day that I shouldn't buy daypass.
