Skiing, snow, northern lights and the nightless summer – as well as the colourful beauty of autumn – Ruka offers something special in every season.
Ruka is one of Finland’s most versatile holiday destinations. In winter, you can enjoy excellent skiing conditions, well-maintained slopes, cross-country ski tracks, snowshoeing routes and snowmobile safaris. After an active day, return to your warm apartment and private sauna at Ruka Ski Chalets.
In summer and autumn, Ruka transforms into a paradise for hikers and mountain bikers. Nearby, you’ll find the famous Karhunkierros Trail, beautiful fells, rivers and lakes for paddling and fishing – as well as peaceful nature for simply unwinding.
