About Äkäs Hotel Cabins

Wake up in your own cosy, open-plan log cabin at Akas Hotel Cabins. Surrounded by the peaceful, snow-covered forests of Äkäslompolo, the beauty of unspoilt Finnish Lapland unfolds right outside your door. Step straight outside and onto over 300km of pristine cross-country ski trails weaving through the vast Ylläs landscape, or hop on the ski bus for quick access to the downhill slopes and lifts. For something truly special, glide across floodlit pistes after sunset and experience the magic of skiing under the Arctic sky.

Enjoy the ease of having everything you need close by, with the lively Äkäs Hotel just a short five-minute walk from your cabin. Spend your evenings here soaking up the atmosphere in the bar, restaurant or on the dance floor, then return for breakfast or half board dining (if you’ve chosen to have your meals taken care of). Or back at your cabin, you can prepare meals in your own kitchenette and take a stroll to the well-stocked village supermarket when you need to restock.

After a day of skiing, return to your private sauna to unwind and relax the Finnish way, then curl up by the crackling fireplace as you warm up from skiing, snowmobiling or sledding through the wilderness. For an extra bit of relaxation, back at the Äkäs Hotel, you can access the indoor pool, sauna and whirlpool. Pure bliss.

Discover Ylläs

Ylläs ticks all the boxes for the ultimate ski adventure in Finland. Named after the Yllästunturi fell, the resort features cosy, comfortable accommodation in two main areas: Äkäslompolo to the north and Ylläsjärvi to the south, so you are within easy reach of the arctic ski slopes.

Known for its excellent snow conditions, reliable snowfall throughout the winter, and scenic surroundings, skiing in Ylläs is not to be missed.  With over 50 kilometres of slopes, there are pistes for skiers of all levels, from gentle beginner slopes to challenging runs for advanced skiers and snowboarders, making it the perfect spot for your next family ski holiday.

The season begins in late November when a small number of slopes open, with early skiing often taking place under floodlights during the magical polar night. From mid-February, as daylight returns, the full mountain opens up, offering varied terrain for all levels and spectacular views across the fells. With minimal lift queues and unspoiled surroundings, Ylläs offers a relaxed and authentic Lapland skiing experience.

The resort is also renowned for its long, well-groomed cross-country trails, which wind through frosty forests, past frozen lakes and over the snow-covered fells, offering a true Arctic skiing experience.
