Yllas Saaga Spa Hotel (Santa Breaks)
Set on the magical Ylläsjärvi side of the fell, the Ylläs Saaga Hotel offers the perfect base for a Christmas adventure. Just a snowballs throw from the ski lifts, it’s an ideal spot for first-time skiers and families looking to try out gentle slopes in a peaceful, uncrowded setting. With ski school, equipment hire, and beginner-friendly pistes right on your doorstep, it’s easy to mix arctic activities with magical Christmas experiences.
After a day of snowy fun and festive excitement, there's no better place to unwind than the hotel’s cosy wellness centre. Warm up with a soothing sauna, enjoy a dip in the indoor pool, or relax tired muscles in the hot tub. Younger guests will love the children's splash pool, giving everyone a chance to recharge after a magical day. For a special treat, parents can indulge in a massage or spa treatment.
Head to the inviting Fireplace Bar to warm up with a mug of hot chocolate or festive mulled wine. The cosy atmosphere is perfect for sharing stories from your day's adventures, whether it was your child’s first ski lesson or that unforgettable visit to Santa’s cabin. Come evening, gather for a delicious three-course buffet at the Biegga Restaurant, offering beautiful views of the snow covered fells. For an extra special Christmas dining experience, treat the family to a meal at the Tsohka à la carte restaurant, where local Lappish ingredients and festive flavours shine. Guests enjoy a discount here – simply let reception know by 6pm the evening before. It’s the perfect way to end a magical day in Lapland.
