Yllasjarvi
Welcome to Finland, an exciting adventure in Lapland awaits you. Upon arrival at Kittila Airport you'll be met and transferred to your hotel in Yllasjarvi near Yllas Fell. You might wish to head outside this evening in an attempt to spot the elusive but dazzling Northern Lights, being close to the arctic circle gives you a great chance of spotting them, provided the weather is clear and the conditions are right.

Nature Hike
This morning we head out into the wilderness on an easy hike through the beautiful Lapland landscape. Your guide will tell you more about the area and teach you about the flora and fauna found in the national park. This leisurely hike will take you through forests and past shimmering lakes before you enjoy a picnic lunch by the campfire.
After returning to our accommodation there will be some free time in the afternoon before you have the option to head out to a peaceful arctic lake for a floating experience. Being so far north means that during the summer months the sun does not set, even late in the day you can enjoy the sunshine outside. This evening we'll put on a float suit and immerse ourselves in the lake for a relaxing experience. Lay back and experience nature in a unique way as you float around the lake.
