Visitor Reviews of Yllas

RICHARD SWIFT from FINLAND writes:

Just back from Yllas on a learn to ski holiday at Easter. Instructors spoke very good English and the lessons were excellent. Snow cover was approx a foot and half deep. New bar and cafe just opened 6 weeks ago in the centre and was very good. We stayed in hotel Saga next to the slope and by day 2 could ski from and to the hotel. Temperature ranged from -12 to -5 but never really felt cold as we had hired arctic weather clothing.
All in all: brilliant for beginners and mid range maybe not quite steep enough for black run skiers. Maybe that's why it never seems to get a mention in the papers! All the Finish people were lovely and spoke good English.
