General presentation
Ylläs et Pallas
Seven fells and the country's oldest national park make up a major area of hiking and skiing.
To understand what Ylläs and Pallas are, you should look at Pallas-Yllästunturi, Yllästunturi and Kellokas Nature Centre. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, forests and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
