Fans of adventure will love this smart apartment, located in the Sotkamo region of Finland. Just a matter of steps away from the piste, and with a range of excellent amenities on offer, it's the perfect pick for groups who are keen to get back to nature. The interior is sleek and minimalist, as you might expect from a Nordic home. You'll find a comfy sofa next to the window where you can watch the snow falling or the summer sun glinting between the trees, along with a smart kitchen perfect for cooking up some hearty fare. There's also an outdoor terrace, complete with a barbeque, where you can dine on grilled salmon in the fresh air. Kids can have fun at the playpark, and there's even a sauna, so you can do as the Finns do and sweat out your stresses at the end of a long day. A five-minute walk will bring you to Vuokatti Ski Resort, where there is a range of slopes suitable for every level of ability. In the summer, this home is a brilliant base for invigorating hiking and cycling trips through the rugged landscapes. You can hire a boat to explore one of... the countless lakes, or try your hand at fishing to catch your own dinner – for lovers of the great outdoors, it doesn't get much better than this.

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.
