The panel were also particularly impressed with work Yllas has been putting towards improving the resort safety and gave credit to staff working in and around the resort for continuosly striving to exceed customer expectations.

With 58 slopes and 330 km of cross-country ski-trails, Ylläs has become one of the biggest winter holiday resorts in Finland, without losing any of its Lapp charm.
Ylläs is also home to the longest downhill runs in Finland and in addition to skiing, visitors can try husky, reindeer, Icelandic pony or snowmobile safaris, snowshoe hiking, kick-sledding, ice-fishing and several other outdoor winter activities.
