Visitor Reviews of Yllas

Just returned from Yllas: a last minute booking at half term. Great experience - very beautiful, think Christmas cards and fairy tales. However, it was very cold at the beginning of the week (hit -26 one night) that my daughter and I were almost in tears with throbbing fingers and toes despite silk liners ('miracle gloves 'from the ski shop AND normal ski gloves). Advice: wear mittens rather than gloves and take hand warmers if you feel the cold. Also, don't forget the balaclavas, something that you probably won't have thought of before if you've only skied the Alps. Yllas is unsophisticated but sweet and the skiing delightful but not challenging; a great place to learn. Extra curricular activities are fab. Loved the husky safari and the boys loved the snowmobiles. Three days were unski-able unfortunately due to weather conditions. In fact, the low cloud, wind and snow made it thoroughly unpleasant. This did spoil it for us as we had to spend quite some time killing time, something one tends not to do on a skiing holiday. Very glad we went. Yllas was a very different experience but it would be unlikely that we would return.
