Akas 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 convenient 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, you can access the indoor pool, sauna and whirlpool at the back at the Äkäs Hotel. Pure bliss.
