In addition to the ski slopes and luxury cabins, Ruka’s destination is also a symbol of winter fun and typical Lapland experiences such as husky dog sledding and snowmobiling. The Ruka area is a perfect choice for such activities because of its extensive and sparsely populated landscape and high snow levels that remains until April – May.
At these heights we can also count on Santa Claus who has got here his residential weekend home.
