My husband I recently got back from Ruka and had a really lovely time. We had the weather quite mild, it was minus 8 most days and went down to minus 16 one day. You only really seem to feel the cold when you are skiing and at the top of the hill, but bearable if wearing the right gear!... more

Although we had a fantastic week in Lapland the first week of January 09, I would not do a return trip to Ruka, or with Inghams! We stayed in a self catered cabin, and thank god we did because the prices in restaurants for food and drink were crazy - 11 euros for a small glass of wine, and 6... more

Booked through Inghams and stayed at the Ruka Log Cabins arriving on the 28th December 08 staying to 5th Jan 09. There were 6 adults in our party and our cabin was, according to the brochure, able to accommodate 6-8 people. I think that would have been a real push, we were expecting the living accommodation in the cabin to... more

Just back from a second visit to Ruka, staying in Ruka Suites over New Year 2008. New Year's Eve was busy on the slopes, but apart from that it was possible to find slopes which were virtually empty even during what is one of Ruka's busiest weeks of the season. Snow conditions were perfect and temp ranged between -5 and... more

If you want to go somewhere safe, friendly and hassle free then you can count on the Finns and go to Ruka. Their resorts may not be as fantastic as North America or the Alps, but I'll bet that those resorts are not as charming and peaceful as Ruka. I love the atmosphere there, it's very quiet and has a... more

The perfect place for a pre christmas build up. Myself and my girlfriend stayed in the logcabins from the 13th to the 21st with Inghams and had a great time. The cabins are fully equipped with Sauna, TV, DVD, board games, videos, hfi etc. Fully kitted out kitchen and big log fire. Really cosy and comfortable. The weather was excellent... more

If you like a christmas tipple, I suggest you take some in your case as their laws only allow liquor store to sell wines/spirits, there... more

12 of us went to Ruka the week of 15th March, and had 3 Ruka Suites apartments. I have to agree with all the previous reviewers that the apartments are lovely and well maintained. Dont rush out to buy Washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, loo roll etc as they were supplied in all of the 3 apts we had, along... more
