Ylläs chalets 2101

The food was fabulous and so was service. I can recommend Lapland plate as starters. We had a great and cozy dinner with my husband.

We booked our Lapland holiday experience via Tui for 3 nights, 2 adults and 2 children (8 and 4) half board, one bedroom apartment with sauna. Flights with young children were fairly easy, quick boarding and Tui staff providing entertainment and pushing on the Santa and Christmas experience to keep the magic going! No issues arriving in Lapland, take luggage to the coach and at the airport pick up the snowsuits, boots and thick socks. No need to buy/bring your own outdoor clothing, the snow suit and boots were enough. Just your hats, snoods etc to bring. The Saaga fell short of a 5-star review because these did not have their rooms ready for 4pm as they stated, we arrived at 1pm and had a 4-5hour wait for the room, a little frustrating but we made most of it, getting snow suits on (in reception!) and taking kids sledging. A family that travelled with us had it worse and we’re not checked in until after 6pm. Only afterwords we understood the hotel had issues with cleaning staff, it would have been nice if they communicated this at the time. Anyway, Tui reps got involved and helped solve and compensate, so the problem was forgotten about by the next day! 🙂 Breakfast and dinners were included, food was varied and tasty. Rooms are between the Saaga and the Tiger buildings, our room was in the Saaga building, clean and spacious beds comfortable. The sauna in the rooms was a nice add on! 👍🏻 The visit to Snow Village was absolutely memorable, here you get a taster of Snow Mobile, husky and reindeer rides as well as the visit to Santa! It was well done and you have a few hours to explore and have fun in the snow. It was possible for us to see the Snow hotel which was just amazing to see, at this time the hotel was not fully opened but being built from the snow and ice. You can book 2hr excisions for snow mobiles, huskies and reindeers at the hotel via tui reps. A family of 4 to take the huskies experience was not far off £500, be aware of the prices! I done a snow mobile ride which was £140 for approx 2 hours. There is a dedicated sledging area free of charge and the gondola to the top of the mountain is €12pp and you can have a hot chocolate at the top! The last night is a festive meal (very busy) and the tui staff put on theatre show for the kids!

In all, this is a once in a lifetime experience, I think Tui have got the formula spot on! Yes it’s expensive, but it’s worth it! The kids will always remember the magic! Highly recommend it.

Came in for a 3 course dinner with my spouse. Every food had its own thing and complimented each other. Bolete ice cream was a really tasteful suprise which we had to come and taste second time few days later.

Menu lapon revisité et soigné : poisson blanc du golfe de Botnie, renne fondant au palais. Dessert bluffant associant pâtisserie, crème glacée au bolet et airelles

Nous avons mangé dans ce restaurant cherchant des plats typiques, et nous n’avons pas regretté!
L’entrée de poisson cru, très bien. Plat principal: Le poisson était excellent ( de l’omble chevalier) et le cerf, surtout le morceau rôti extra!!
Les desserts étaient particuliers : nous n’avons pas l’habitude de la glace au champignon! Mais encore, belle expérience. Plats très bien présentés, et serveur sympathique. On vous le recommande, même si tout n’était pas à notre goût, on y allait pour une belle expérience et se fut le cas! bon moment!
