If you are an 'outdoor and nature' person you will like it here. There are several activity companies in Äkäslompolo village arranging day tours, all in walking distance from the cabin and also rent out gear and warm winter clothes. Also some sport shops that rent out gear as skis, snowshoes, kicksleds etc.
