We have been to both Levi & Yllas previously but have to say this was the best. The snow was fantastic and the slopes well groomed. The only draw back was we went during the 1st week in January and the place was overrun by Russians and Ukranians who do not know the meaning of 'manners'. They apparently celebrate Xmas... More

A group of 8 of us just spent a week in Ruka. We stayed in a charming cabin called Kantolan Veska which is situated about 5km from Ruka Village (off the road called Veska Ahontie), but with a very reliable taxi service, being outside the village wasn't an issue (and at about 20€ between 8 of us, cheaper and easier...

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

Well, what can i say other than what a brilliant, fantastic holiday. We have been to Yllas and Levi but Ruka topped both of them. We skiied more on our first day than all week on both other holidays. This is our 3rd time skiing and we adventured out on our own armed with a piste map and off we... 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...

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
