Q5 SAFARIS

Q5 SAFARIS hosts the adventures you want: an actionpacked snowmobile- or husky safari, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or a reindeer ride under the Northern Lights!

Q5 SAFARIS is a partner of Hotel Ylläshumina and our safari house is located right next to the hotel main building. Welcome!

Picture

Snowmobile safaris

Various snowmobile safaris where you get to know the area a bit better, and you will see much more than by walking or skiing.

Picture

crosscountry skiing

The area around Ylläshumina and Ylläs fell has more than 200 miles (330 kilometres) of ski trails ideally suited to beginners and more experienced skiers alike.
Picture

Huskysafaris

On the husky tour you will find yourself in the middle of a fairytail land, driving with the dogs through the snowy forest where you meet no-one else.
Picture

Reindeer farm visit

There are a few reindeer farms near Ylläs, where you can visit and sit on a reindeer-driven sleigh. Reindeer are also often seen in the village and there is always some reindeer walking around in Konijänkä's livestock yard.
Picture

snowshoeing

Q5 guides will take you for a short ”try it out” walk for two hours, or you can join a longer 3 or 4 hours snowshoeing adventures to one of the seven Ylläs fells.

From past to present

Äkäslompolo is an old, remote Lappish village. Until relatively recently the residents lived by livestock farming and agriculture, and naturally by the surrounding forests. Tourism really only became a viable economy in the 1960s.

However, Ylläshumina and its predecessors have been attracting day-trippers since a lot earlier. The proud sign bearing the words “Humina Hotel”, lovingly carved by local visionary Aapi Äkäslompolo, dates back to 1945, just after the Second World War.
​

Fate played an important role in the origins of the hotel – in the form of T.I. Sorjanen, the then director of Finland’s leading association for the promotion of recreational sports and outdoor activities. He happened to spot Aapi building a barn and advised him to build a hotel instead, as “hotels are the future”. Soon enough, Aapi had built the first hotel in the Ylläs region, a hotel that remains a unique example of holiday hospitality in its latitude to this day.

At the end of a road to nowhere

The road down to the shores of Lake Äkäslompolojärvi wasn’t built until many years after the original Humina Hotel opened its doors but that didn’t deter holidaymakers. They came from near and far, on skis in the winter, on foot in the summer. And the trek was definitely worth it: the reward was an arresting view of untamed Lappish wilderness. Tourists flocked in on horses or reindeer, sometimes by boat from across the lake. The older generation and the hotel’s diaries even recall particularly determined day-trippers who arrived from high above the fell tops, from amidst the clouds – by light aircraft!
​

Over the years, the hotel has played host to a multitude of interesting personalities. Finnish music legends Tapio Rautavaara and Reino Helismaa were already coming to the tranquillity of Humina Hotel in pursuit of new inspiration decades ago. In another world, in another age, the serenity of Ylläshumina also made the Oscar-winning English actress Emma Thompson fall in love with the place.

A family of holiday professionals ​

More recently, the hotel was renamed to better reflect its location at the foot of Ylläs fell. The little inn has grown into a versatile holiday resort. Today, the hotel dexterously combines modern luxury with history and tradition. A lot has survived from Aapi’s day – in addition to the unique landscapes and peaceful natural setting.

Aapi Äkäslompolo’s traditions live on and the tranquil atmosphere is as strong as ever. These traditions are ingrained in the people who have taken on responsibility for this heritage: Aapi’s own niece, Meeri, and her husband, Toivo Qvist. Their sons, Tomas and Rasmus, are also about to step into hotel management full-time.
​

For the Qvists, every guest is like family – like an old friend who is always welcome. The couple have now been running Ylläshumina in this true spirit of Lappish hospitality for 30 years. The extended family includes a dedicated group of professionals from tour guides to kitchen staff, who make sure that the hotel continues to deliver unforgettable holiday experiences, now and in the future.
