Ylläs: outdoors-heavy Lapland, if you respect distances.
Big nature feel. The failure mode is pretending travel time doesn’t exist.

Distance is the theme
Routes are wider. Travel time is part of your day, not a footnote.
Weather variance matters
Your plan should survive a slower day. Build slack.
Outdoor density
Great if you want nature. Don’t overschedule tour slots.
Gear included (or not)
Verify clothing and boots. Missing gear is the fastest way to hate Lapland.
Safe booking path
1 anchor activity per day. Add buffers. Avoid “two tours + travel” fantasy days.
Common trap
Copying a “Rovaniemi schedule” into Ylläs. Different geography, different risk.
