Loihakka

Loihakka specialises in husky safaris. We are based in Varjakka, Oulu, Finland. In summer we also offer guided tours to the historical sawmill of the Varjakansaari Island. Our huskies love their work and we love to see them wagging their tails and eager to go. For this reason, our kennel is open on bookings only: as pack leaders, we want to make sure that our dogs have at least one full day of rest all to themselves. We have no minimum group size, so you are warmly welcome to visit our kennel on your own, too.

Reviewed By KevinT162 - Cardigan, United Kingdom

Second year in Ruka, stayed in the new Ruka Valley hotel, which is literally right on the doorstep to the ski school on the opposite side of the hill to the town. This isnt a problem though as a gondola runs wetween 9 and 7 to and from the town to the valley where ski school is held. Plenty of blue runs for beginners. The hotel has a resteraunt and bar which is open until 10pm, good quality food run by very friendly staff. Slopes are very good and well maintained, the main reason we initially chose Ruka is the guarenteed snow, cold and the wide range of excursions available. It was actually cheaper to get here and stay in this wonderful hotel than it was to get to corfu last year, however, the excursions, lift passes, equipment hire and food and drink soon make up for that. Overall, plenty of places to eat, all excelllent quality and easy access to wherever you want to go. Keep it quiet tho, currently the most attractive part of this place is how quiet and laidback it is. All this makes it a fantastic place to visit. If there is one negative, its the volume of snowboarders has increased significantly on last year ,it can be a bit intimidating for skiers still learning, would be good to,see at least 1 slope where snow boarders are prohibited. Booked with Crystal Ski first week February.
