Thrillseekers and nature lovers alike will love this apartment in the Sotkamo region of Finland. It's tucked away amongst pine trees just a five-minute walk away from the piste, making it the perfect place to kick back and relax between your adventures. Step inside, and you'll notice that there's plenty of Nordic style – think muted shades and comfortable furnishings with a minimalist touch. Fire up the stove and uncork a bottle of wine to enjoy as you rest up between your excursions. If it's warm enough, you can grill some fresh salmon outside on the balcony for dinner, and if not then the sleek kitchen is well-equipped for you to cook some hearty family favourites. There's a play park nearby where the kids can make new friends, and grown-ups can embrace the Finnish tradition of sweating out their stresses in the private sauna. Skiers will be delighted that they can be the first onto the fresh powder each morning at Vuokatti Ski Resort, and spend their days hurtling down the mountain. In the warmer months, you can hit the trails to cycle or hike through the gorgeous landscapes. There are several lakes nearby too, where you might like to hire a boat and spend a day relaxing on the water – it's the ideal way to press pause and reset surrounded by nature.
