Waking up in the morning and knowing you're only a couple of minutes from the slopes is the dream - and with the Saaga apartments, it can be a reality. They are equipped for the whole family and within walking distance to the ski school and nursery slopes. Nestled in the tree line of the Yllästunturi fell, these spacious and luxurious apartments will make you look forward to coming back to base at the end of the day.All 95 spacious apartments are fitted with traditional Nordic wood-cladded walls, contemporary wooden flooring, and a variety of modern furnishings like stylish light fittings. And when you’ve returned after a day on the slopes, you can escape to your own private sauna to help you cleanse and relax. Staying in the apartments means that you can take everything at your own pace - breakfast in bed and dinner in front of the TV - it's up to you. If you fancy a break from cooking, head down to one of the Hotel Saaga’s three restaurants and try some traditional Finnish cuisine.If you don’t want to be sitting around in your apartment then you can take advantage of the spa and wellness facilities inside the hotel. Swim some laps in the indoor pool, surrounded by beautiful stone walls, or have a massage to soothe those aches and pains and get you ready for the next day. If you want some alone time, the hotel houses a kids’ club and a games room so your little ones can get stuck into some video games, or make friends over table football.The skiing is great, but Ylläs also has plenty of other amazing activities on offer. Visit the Snow Village where architects construct whole buildings out of snow, and then spend some time in the ice hotel - a once in a lifetime experience. Or take a trip to Konijänka’s petting zoo, send the kids off on snowmobile rides or try the Lappish favourite, reindeer sleigh rides.
