Äkäs Cabins, Yllas, Finland / Lapland

Staying here you'll be close to all the local amenities. The Äkäs Hotel, a hub of local entertainment, has a popular bar, dance floor, restaurant and night club. It's about five minute's walk from the cabins and where you'll enjoy your meals if you're staying on bed and breakfast or have opted for half board. Each cabin has a small kitchenette and the well-stocked supermarket is about 10-15 minute walk away.

During your break, check out some of our fantastic optional extras available from Ylläs. Whizz through the snowy fells by snowmobile, or enjoy a husky safari through the forest.

• 250 - 450 metres to the Äkäs Hotel - where you'll find the restaurant, half-board meals, wellness facilities and the meeting point for some excursions
• 3 kilometres to the ski slopes: the ski bus stop is outside the Äkäs Hotel (payable locally)
• 700 metres to the village centre, about a 10 minute walk
• 1 kilometre (around a 15 minute walk) to the supermarket

These cosy, traditional open-plan log cabins, are in the most scenic and peaceful wooded location in the unspoilt Lappish village of Äkäslompolo.

No Finnish holiday is complete without experiencing the sauna and these cabins do not disappoint - each one has a private sauna for you to come back to relax in after days out exploring. The cabins also have a fireplace, so you can warm up in the comfort of your cabin after skiing, snowmobiling, or sledding through the wilderness. In addition, you'll have free use of the swimming pool, saunas, and fitness room in the Äkäs Hotel.

The cross-country ski trails start from just outside the cabins, with around 314 kilometres of ski tracks winding through the surrounding snowy landscape surrounding Ylläs. The downhill ski area is reached in a few minutes by ski bus (payable locally), which gives you access to a variety of different slopes. Skiing in Lapland is a unique experience, you can ski around the pristine pistes and even have a go at night skiing earlier in the winter season - the pistes are generally open until late afternoon but are floodlit so the slopes stay open even after sundown.
