Winter vacations and auroras in Ylläs
Hello guys! In this episode of our Lapland Travels we are going to visit Ylläs. Situated amidst the 7 beautiful fells, it is one of the most picturesque areas in Finnish Lapland. Ylläs will gladly welcome you both Summer and Winter, however, this time our journey takes us here when it is all covered with a thick curtain of snow.

Seeing northern lights for the first time since the old season is always encouraging and the air temperature is still relatively warm even at night.
