There are more bears and reindeer than residents in Salla, so it’s no wonder the Finnish government plan to turn this area into a National Park. Tucked into the wilderness, this cosy cabin is perfect for adventurers. In the winter, head to nearby Salla ski resort to hit the fresh powder, and in the summer explore the hiking and biking routes in the pristine forest that surrounds you. After an activity-filled day, relax in the in-house sauna or curl up in front of the stove in the living room. We love the airy yet rustic feel of this home, with its muted colour palette, light-wood walls, open-plan living space and artworks that pay homage to Lapland’s beautiful vistas. To experience the real thing, head to the shared barbecue hut by the pond, and have an unforgettable outdoor meal.
