Äkäslompolo: the north side of Ylläs

Ylläs is one fell with two villages. Äkäslompolo, on the north side, is an established village around a lake, with cabins, cafés and local services. It suits days built around cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or a quiet cabin, and Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park begins right next to it.

Restaurants and shops are spread across the village, so an Äkäslompolo address is not automatically walkable. Before booking, check the distance from the cabin to the grocery shop and to the trail you plan to use. In winter a seasonal ski bus links the two villages and the ski areas; check the timetable for your dates.

Kittilä airport is about 50 km away, roughly an hour by airport bus, and Kolari, where the night train from Helsinki ends, is closer still. For lift access on the southern slopes, look at Ylläsjärvi. Our guide Äkäslompolo or Ylläsjärvi? compares the two villages side by side.
