Äkäslompolo

Among the settlements of Mainland Finland, Äkäslompolo stands out for its setting beside Lake Äkäslompolo beneath the Ylläs fell. This small Lapland village lies beside Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, where rounded fells, spruce forests and open bogland shape the northern terrain. Äkäslompolo is one of the two main bases for the Ylläs ski area, with routes used for skiing in winter and hiking or cycling through the warmer months. Reindeer husbandry remains an important part of the region’s traditional economy, while the village’s low-rise centre keeps a distinctly local scale.
