All Ski DealsHotel Akashotelli Yllas, Finland
Only minutes from the centre of Äkäslompolo is the beautiful Lapland Äkäshotelli. It's surrounding by acres of woodland, which makes it the perfect tranquil base for all your snowy adventures. The ski shuttles leave regularly from outside the entrance to drop you at the Ylläs ski lifts.
The modest rooms have simple and traditional furnishings. In the mornings, head down to the hotel restaurant for a buffet breakfast to keep you going for the day.
Lapland Safaris arrange loads of excursions for the hotel, from snow safaris to dog sledding and cross-country skiing. And don’t forget to walk down to the Äkäslompolo lake one evening to try and catch a glimpse of the magical Northern Lights – a once in a lifetime experience.
After a fun filled day outdoors, the hotel itself has loads to keep you occupied, including an indoor pool and a sauna. If you've still got energy to burn, there’s a fitness room too. Occasional evening entertainment is also a great aspect of this hotel, from discos to live music.

Snow Promise
This operator is offering a new and improved Snow Promise which means they'll do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow while you're on holiday. Plus, when you book your holiday before 30 November 2023, you can now change your holiday fee-free if less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area you're travelling to, due to lack of snow or no snow. Not forgetting the option to upgrade to the Snow Promise Extra for even more flexibility if the snow lets you down. Find out more below.
Before You Go On Holiday
If there's a lack of snow or no snow in the ski area you're travelling to, you can change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you depart. Just so you know, they'll use the live conditions in the 4 days before you go, not the forecast conditions for your arrival. For example, if you're travelling on a Saturday, you can change your holiday from the Tuesday to the Friday before, if on Tuesday there's a lack of snow or no snow. They’ll refund the difference if your new holiday is cheaper, or you’ll need to pay the difference if the new holiday costs more.
The Snow Promise
Included with all package holidays with this operator*

- Less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- Less than 2 blue/red/black/black diamond runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- You’ve booked ski school through the operator and your lessons have been cancelled.
Change your holiday to:
Any package holiday with this operator departing between December 2023 and April 2024.
This applies to all package holidays booked with this operator on or before 30 November 2023.
The Snow Promise Extra
Optional upgrade on our package holidays (+£25pp)*
Change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you go, if due to lack of snow or no snow:
- Less than 50% of runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- Your ski school lessons have been cancelled. And it doesn't matter if you booked through us or someone else.
Change your holiday to:
Any package holiday with this operator they have on sale for this winter, or next.
This applies when everyone on your booking upgrades to the Snow Promise Extra on or before 30 November 2023.
While You're On Holiday
Your tour operator will do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow. If you book your lift passes with the operator and less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area due to lack of snow or no snow, they'll do their best to arrange up to three days of skiing in an open resort within a 2-hour drive from the resort you're staying in. Their local team will organise the transport and your new lift pass will be paid for too, so all you have to do is hop on the coach. And even if you haven’t booked your lift passes with the operator, you can still use the coach for free.
In the worst-case scenario where they can't get you to another open resort if you booked ski school and/or lift passes with the operator, they'll refund you for any lessons that have been cancelled and you'll get your lift pass money back for any days you were unable to ski due to lack of snow or no snow.
This applies to all package holidays with this operator, even if you book the day before you travel.
