Press pause on everyday life and lose yourself in the rugged landscapes of Sotkamo, beautiful at every time of year. Nestled amongst evergreen trees, this apartment is just a five-minute walk away from the ski slopes, and offers the perfect opportunity to get back to nature. Step inside, and you'll notice that there is a Nordic theme to the living space, with comfy furniture and a muted colour palette. Brew a fresh cup of coffee and curl up on the sofa beside the window to admire the snow or watch the summer sun glinting through the trees. When you get hungry, whip up some family favourites in the sleek kitchen, or step onto the balcony and fire up the barbeque for an alfresco feast if the weather allows. Kids can keep busy at the nearby play park, and at the end of the day you can do as the Finns do and enjoy an invigorating session in your very own sauna. If you're planning to shred some powder then the location couldn't be more convenient – you can be first onto the slopes of Vuokatti Ski Resort each morning. During the summer months, there are several trails where you can hike or cycle through the beautiful forests. If you fancy hiring a boat, then you can sail around one of the nearby lakes, and you can even go fishing to catch your own dinner – there are countless opportunities for adventure here.
