Ruka An outdoor paradise - Lapland and Northern Finland - Winter Activity week - Lapland and Northern Finland - Featuring Activity Breaks, Log Cabins and Hotels...

The northern Finland resort of Ruka and the surrounding area is a mecca for people that enjoy outdoor activities throughout the year. Hikers are spoilt with a range of short trails around the resort or can walk all or part of the famous 80km Bear’s Trail leading from Ruka through the beautiful Oulanka National Park with its untamed forests and breathtaking rapids.
In winter the small resort of Ruka has always attracted visitors wanting the best accommodation and facilities, with many Finnish millionaires building their winter cabins on the nearby fells. Recent investment throughout the resort has ensured that Ruka continues to meet their needs.
The resort boasts 28 pistes served by 18 lifts and excellent snowboarding facilities including 3 half pipes, 2 snowboard streets and a boarder cross street. The highly varied cross-country trail network (450km in all) offers something for skiers of all levels.
Winter safaris include excellent snowmobiling, short husky safaris and visits to nearby reindeer farms.
