Varakka — Cabin in Ylläs, Finnish Lapland
Fell-view cabin in Ylläs, at the edge of a national park
About Varakka
Varakka sits in the shadow of Ylläs fell — the highest ski fell in Finland. It has 63 slopes, Finland's longest 3km runs, and the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park on your doorstep. This is Lapland at its most wild and stunning. In summer, hike the ancient fells, bike at Finland's largest bike park, or paddle the clear lakes under the midnight sun.
