Location: where is Hotel Saaga

· 2 minutes' walk to the gondola · 2 minutes' walk to the nursery slopes · in the centre of Ylläs resort · 5 minutes' walk to the ski school meeting point


Overview: hotel description: Hotel Saaga description

Just metres from the slopes, the stylish Saaga is a stand-out pick in Ylläs. It’s got great food and facilities, and you can stroll to the gondola and nursery slopes in just a couple of minutes.

The design is contemporary yet cosy, with dark wood, stone walls and low lighting. And from every window – and the balcony in your room – you can look out over the rolling hills and frozen trees.

Half-board meals are served in the buffet restaurant, but if you fancy a change you can also grab a bite to eat in the bistro or savour a sophisticated meal in the à la carte restaurant – and the quality in all three is top-notch. Before bed, wander along to the Fireplace Bar to wind down over a drink by the crackling flames. You can also enjoy some time in the swimming pool, hot tub, saunas and steam rooms.

This gorgeous Lapland resort (pronounced “U-las”) has welcomed skiers since the 1930s and is the biggest of the 35 ski areas in Finland, home to the country’s longest slope, the 3km Jättipitkä run (which translates to ‘enormously long’!). The resort is split into two villages on either side of the region’s highest “fell” - a smooth mountain rising above the treeline. Both villages have remained true to their roots - Ylläsjärvi in the south and Äkäslompolo in the north – and both are authentic, b...
With 63km of downhill slopes, the skiing is fairly compact although over 300km of designated tracks make this one of the best cross-country destinations in the world. The uncrowded, perfectly groomed slopes are a beginner’s dream and make learning to ski a fun and relaxing experience. The ski schools meet on both sides of the mountain and speak excellent English with group lessons normally having small class sizes to give a personal feel. Early intermediates will love the wide, cruising runs which are perf...
Both villages are sleepy and traditional so while there are nice places to go for a drink, those looking for a European party scene might be somewhat disappointed. The focus is more on relaxation and entertainment away from the slopes of which there’s more than enough to keep all ages very happy. The Akäs hotel is most popular for a few drinks with a dance floor and club inside, while the restaurants in the resort serve all kinds of local delicacies – reindeer and freshly caught fish are both highly recommend...

"Great hotel – staff very friendly!"

5/ out of 5
Great hotel, staff very friendly. Basic rooms. Plenty of food choices, pasta. Close to the Gondola lifts and more access from the other side of Yllas. Best holiday I’ve ever been on, Husky sledging, reindeer farm were amazing, Santa village was amazing as well. So impressed we even got to see the Northen lights. Will definitely go again but not this year!
