About Villa Armas Cabins

One of the most authentic ways to see Finnish Lapland is waking up in a warm, cosy log cabin and seeing the winter wonderland that awaits you – and that's exactly what you'll experience when staying at the Villa Armas Cabins. Not only are they well-equipped and great value for larger groups or families, but they're perfectly located close to Äkäslompolo village, where a cross-country skier's paradise begins.

These self-catering cabins are furnished with all the modern conveniences you'll need for a comfortable stay in the Arctic Circle, including your very own private sauna and fireplace – perfect for warming up and settling in with a hot drink in hand after a day on the slopes. There's a well-stocked supermarket in the village centre, along with a handful of cafes, shops and restaurants, so you'll have plenty to choose from when you need to refuel. Prefer to have your meals taken care of? Then choose the half board option, where you'll dine at the nearby Äkäs Hotel (just a two-minute walk away).

So why Finland? From unmatched snow to a wide range of slopes, it's a skiing destination that consistently delivers. It's also one of the best places in the world to witness the Northern Lights throughout the winter months. You can try seeing them by night on a snowmobile safari – one of our optional activities you can book. Or try something you've never done before, like a reindeer sleigh ride, husky sledding or snowshoeing.

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.
