06Field report
Ruka Ski Resort, Finland — northern slopes without the drama.
Fresh powder, the silence of northern nature, magically lit slopes and the Northern Lights overhead — that is Ruka, one of Finland’s best-known and most beautiful ski resorts. Join us for a unique skiing experience in northern Europe, in the Kuusamo region, where winter fun has a completely different atmosphere from the crowded Alps.
Powder and silence
Ruka offers reliable snow, quieter slopes and the atmosphere of the deep north.
Sauna after skiing
After a day on skis comes a Finnish sauna, rest and the calm of a snowy chalet.
Northern Lights in practice
The winter months from November to March are ideal for watching the Northern Lights. Every evening we assess the sky, light pollution and conditions to increase the chance of the best view.
Winter activities
We visit Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi, head out for the aurora in the evening and return to a traditional Finnish sauna. One day can be exchanged for husky sledding and a forest walk.
Ski equipment can be rented on site and is not included in the price.
