About Äkäs Cabins
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.
