Ruka is one of the best skiing resorts in Finland. The slopes are well maintained and groomed and usually Ruka is one of the first resorts to open in the winter. There are many different slopes and they offer a lot of challenges for different skill levels. More

2nd visit and will go back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More

This resort seems to have a reputation for only being suitable for beginners but it's so untrue! The runs are brilliant and if you're really looking for something to challenge you, there's an amazing snowpark with some pretty extreme jumps and there is also the Olympic black run.

What a great time we had in Ruka this year. It is 6 years since we were last there and a few things have changed in the intervening years.

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.
