Summer

Although Äkäskero is mainly known for sledge dog tours during the winter, it is also well worth a visit in summer too.  In the heart of the National Park, there are numerous opportunities to fully experience Lappland’s natural beauty.

Äkäskero offers many guided activities which are especially adapted to keep in tune with nature’s natural cycles.  These are centrally focused on the largest Finnish National Wildlife Park, Ylläs Aakenus-Pallas-Ounas, and include walking or riding tours, canoeing, rafting, mushroom and berry-collecting excursions, animal-watching, fishing, mountain biking, to mention just a few.  The activities are adapted to the needs and wishes of the participants.
Of course, it is also possible to plan your own outings to experience Lapplands nature resources.  Those guests who prefer to be independent and wish to plan their own activity programme, can obtain all the information necessary to ensure their holiday is safe and enjoyable, from our Guides or at the reception desk.

For those who prefer just to relax and enjoy the surroundings, you will find that in Äkäskero there is no animation programme and absolutely no obligatiion to join in any activities, if you prefer not to.  Our vacations are intended as an opportunity to relax and recuperate - actively or leisurely - both options are available to you, each with its own special charm.
