Late summer light in Ylläs, Finnish Lapland

Join an exciting fam trip to Ylläs, an outstanding destination in Finnish Lapland that offers excellent outdoor activities and warm hospitality in breathtaking natural surroundings. Perfect for tour operators looking to expand their portfolio with sustainable, nature-based holidays.
You will meet representatives of Ylläs and local suppliers and they will present the touristic offers of the destination during late summer, also called harvest season.

The fam trip takes place from 27 to 31 August 2026.

We warmly welcome you to this fam trip to Ylläs — a destination shaped by eight seasons, seven fells, authentic Lappish villages and a national park known for having the world’s purest air.

Outdoor discovery trip for travel professionals

Discover Ylläs in August during the Harvest Season. Late summer in Finnish Lapland offers mild temperatures, long days and reliable conditions for outdoor activities. The period is well suited for biking, fishing and hiking, complemented by mushroom and berry picking and the first opportunities for a Northern Lights hunt towards the end of the month.

A late-summer mix of nature, taste and adventure

The program offers a curated insight into Ylläs’ late-summer outdoor potential. Planned experiences may include cycling in the Bike Park and on e-fatbikes, time on waters with fly fishing, and evenings shaped by fire, food and stories out in the wilderness and at a wilderness hut. Sauna moments, a visit to a local husky farm and a Northern lights mini expedition with berry and mushroom picking highlight the seasonal transition — when daylight softens, nights grow darker and Lapland begins to slow its pace. These experiences showcase how late summer in Ylläs can be turned into distinctive, sustainable travel products for active nature-oriented guests.

Getting to Ylläs

Ylläs is located in north-western Finnish Lapland, above the Arctic Circle. Despite its remote and untouched character, the destination is easy and comfortable to reach.

Ylläs can be accessed via Kittilä Airport, which offers regular connections from Helsinki and seasonal international flights from key European markets. From the airport, the bus transfer to Ylläs takes approximately 30-45 minutes depending on the location of the selected accommodation.
