In 2011, a new six-chair lift PyhaExpress appeared on the Pike, which delivers skiers to the top of the hills in just 4 minutes.
Advanced skiers are sure to please the new FIS slope of the Pike, and fans of snowboarding and new school will like the FunPark snowpark.
Ylläs is a resort for maximalists
The Ylläs ski resort is the largest ski center in Finland. The resort has the largest number of lifts. The main part of the lifts is a gondola and 4-person chair lifts, which provides a quick and convenient climb to the top of the mountain and, in addition, the opportunity to rest and admire the magnificent scenery from the height of the slope. The resort has 63 tracks and 28 lifts.
Pallas Ylläs National Park is in the immediate vicinity of the Ylläs. The unique landscape of the park, consisting of 7 picturesque hills, surrounded by untouched forests, will provide an unforgettable experience during the winter holidays. After skiing, you can go on snowmobile safaris or treat yourself to relaxing spa treatments. Numerous restaurants offer a rich selection of delicious dishes. You can stop in high-class cottages, apartments or in a hotel room.
Experts of Vse-Sekrety.ru found out that in the summer the resort gives an opportunity to practice horse riding. On top of the hill, you can climb the Icelandic pony - this gives an excellent opportunity to enjoy horseback riding and scenic views of the Finnish nature. If the hobby for horseback riding is not to your liking, then you can climb to Yllästunturi by the lift and go down one of the longer stretches of Finland on a mountain bike. Arriving tourists can stay in hotels or cottages in the territory of one of the cottage settlements.
Enjoy your holiday!
