This says a lot about the snow reliability of this compact resort and is one of the main reasons why it is such a popular destination. It is located in between the town of Kuusamo (which is where you’ll fly into) and the Arctic Circle and is not far from the Russian border, ensuring cold weather and fantastic ski conditions throughout the winter.
The slopes may only cover 19km, but offer decent variety and with so much to do away from the pistes there’s no chance of getting bored during your stay here.
With everything from snowmobiling to ice skating, Ruka offers a fantastic range of winter activities – this is not just a ski destination, it is a real winter holiday destination.
