Arriving by car?

When you arrive by car we’re located close to the treeline of Ylläs fell, at: Iso-Ylläksentie 42, 95980 Ylläsjärvi.

If you come from the south, from the direction of Tornio on the E8 road, turn to road number 80 (Kustakontie) at Kolari. Continue following the signs to Ylläsjärvi. When you arrive the Ylläsjärvi village, turn left toward Iso-Ylläsjärvi (9401). Continue driving for a few kilometers until you reach a roundabout. Turn off at the first junction of the roundabout and continue for a little under two kilometers until you arrive to Lapland Hotel Saaga. The hotel is on the left side of the road at the tree line of the fell.

You can park the car near the front door, making checking in easier. Depending on the location of your accommodation, you may park your car to other public “P-areas” of the hotel. Ask the hotel for possible heating electricity sockets.
