If you want to stay just a few steps away from Vuokatti Ski Resort, in the Sotkamo area of Finland, then this is the place for you. This cosy apartment is perfect for outdoor-loving groups of friends or families and makes a brilliant place to return to after a long day on the mountain. The cosy living space is the ideal spot to curl up with a cup of hot coffee as you plan the day's activities. Light up the fire and get cosy as you watch the snow from the window, or rent a projector to watch a blockbuster on the big screen. When you get hungry, whip up your favorite dishes in the sleek kitchen or head outside to the balcony and grill up some hearty fare on the barbeque. And, you can round off each day with a sweaty session in the sauna – it is the Finnish way, after all. Skiiers and snowboarders can be on the slope within five minutes, and there are plenty of runs for thrill-seekers of all stages. In the warmer months, you can use this home as a base for hiking and cycling through the magical landscapes. Hire a boat to... explore one of the many lakes, or organise a fishing trip to catch your own dinner – for lovers of nature, this home is an excellent pick.

About Finland
Land of a thousand lakes, Finland is all about embracing the outdoors. In the south, it feels more like a series of islands as huge swathes of lake cut through the land. The way of life here is fish caught by your own hand, and smoked on the cabin terrace. Pine trees tower above and woodland walks and cycling is the way to immerse in nature. Summer brings endless daytime...
