Holiday Club Ylläs

Holiday Club Ylläs has several different accommodation possibilities in different locations in Äkäslompolo, Ylläs. I booked "Huoneisto, 1 makuuhuone, sauna (40.5 m2, P6 KES)" which means an apartment, 1 bedroom, sauna, 40.5 square meters. This Kesänki apartment (KES refers to Kesänki, I think) is actually a villa or more precisely half of a semi-detached log house. I think that Kesänki is similar to Kuer but Kesänki has forest view and Kuer has partial lake view. Both of them are good for 1-4 or even 6 people. There are steep stairs in these apartments and so they aren't accessible for wheelchairs and they may be difficult for small kids, too.These log apartments are excellent with all modern facilities, e.g. an air source heat pump, a complete tableware, a dishwasher, a gas grill and a washing machine. Even two normal bicycles were available but it was hard to find keys from the vestibule.The location is excellent, less than two kilometers from the center of Äkäslompolo village (Jounin kauppa) and 800 meters from the nearest bus stop (Äkäshotelli). So it is easy to travel here by public transport. I took a train from Helsinki to Kolari and then a bus from Kolari to Äkäslompolo. Very good hiking trails, biking trails and in winter cross-country skiing tracks start from the lake shore, 100 meters from the apartment. So this apartment is perfect both for summer and winter activities.
