You will experience the beautiful Arctic landscape and if you are lucky, see the Northern lights! Additionally, there is a variety of winter sports you can try – snowshoe walking, downhill skiing, swimming in the Arctic Ocean – and all of this at student-friendly prices! The accommodation is in well-equipped apartments/cottages, and the services of the Ylläs resort are in a walking distance.
