Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival day, check-in to private cabin and settle in. Optional pickup from the local meeting point if pre-arranged.
Meeting point & optional pickup (arrival)
Meet at the arranged pickup point or be collected from your provided address (pickup must be requested at least 24 hours in advance). Staff will transfer/escort guests to the cabin area in the Pallas–Yllästunturi region.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm pickup at least 24 hours before arrival with the exact address to enable collection.
- Dress in warm layers for the transfer; temperatures can drop quickly in the evening.
- Bring any arrival documentation or confirmation on your phone; mobile reception can be patchy in rural areas.
Cabin check-in and orientation
Check in to your private cabin (double bed, kitchenette, private sauna). Brief orientation with your host about cabin facilities, sauna use, and the next day's schedule.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your host for a quick walkthrough of the wood stove/sauna operation and safety procedures.
- Store valuables and electronics inside the cabin; extreme cold can affect batteries.
- Plan a relaxed first evening—the sauna is best used before nightfall for easier access to facilities.
Day 2
Full day in the national park: guided husky walk or snowshoe tour followed by a wilderness fire lunch. Afternoon free to relax or explore local tracks.
Guided husky walk or snowshoe tour (2–3 hours)
A guided group activity through nearby trails in Pallas–Yllästunturi National Park. Time to meet the dogs, walk on groomed/ungroomed trails, and take photos. Guides tailor the route to conditions and group ability.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear warm, waterproof boots and thermal layers; gaiters and warm gloves are recommended.
- Bring a daypack with a spare pair of gloves and a camera—stops for photos are frequent.
- Inform the guide of any mobility issues or health concerns before the activity starts.
Wilderness fire lunch & hot drinks
Traditional outdoor lunch prepared over a wilderness fire. Time to warm up, enjoy hot drinks, and hear local stories about the area and the dogs.
Tips from local experts:
- Carry a warm, insulated cup if you prefer; hot drinks are provided but your own cup reduces waste.
- Keep food items in an inside pocket until served—cold air quickly chills unpacked food.
- Notify hosts ahead of time about any dietary restrictions or allergies.
Afternoon free time: explore Äkäslompolo or relax in your sauna cabin
Options include short cross-country ski loops, strolling the village of Äkäslompolo, or returning to your cabin for a private sauna and rest. Your host can advise on nearby tracks and rental options.
Tips from local experts:
- Check with your host for the nearest groomed cross-country trails and rental locations if you want to ski.
- If using the sauna after outdoor activities, towel off snow outside to avoid bringing excess moisture into the cabin.
- Plan for short daylight hours in February—carry a headlamp if you plan a late walk or photography session.
Day 3
Checkout and departure morning. Time to use the sauna once more or take a short morning walk before your transfer.
Morning checkout and optional transfer to meeting point
Check out of the cabin, pack your belongings, and prepare for your arranged transfer back to the meeting point or onward travel. Hosts will confirm pickup times the evening before.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your transfer time with the host the evening before to avoid delays.
- Allow extra time when packing: removing ice from boots and ensuring the cabin is left tidy helps the next guests.
- Have a printed or digital copy of your return address or onward travel details; some rural drivers prefer clear pickup/dropoff instructions.
