About Akas Alp Apartments

The highly recommended Äkäs Alp Apartments are situated in the traditional, unspoilt Lappish community of Äkäslompolo, in a scenic and peaceful wooded location in the Ylläs area.

The comfortable apartments are in the most convenient location for reaching the centre of Äkäslompolo village and you'll be able to make the most of the facilities at the nearby Äkäs Hotel. Have a dip in the indoor pool, or unwind and rejuvenate in your private sauna- excellent for warming up after a day of exploration.

Our apartments are designed to be your cosy home away from home. They all have a kitchenette and cooking facilities (hob and microwave) so you'll have the choice to eat in or try out some of the local spots - restaurants, bars, and a well-stocked supermarket are just a walk away. If you'd prefer tasty meals without any fuss, our optional half board upgrade to the nearby Äkäs Hotel (approx. 100 metres), means you can focus all of your attention on days spent exploring Lapland.

All facilities are located in the Äkäs Hotel (100m away)
