Ruka-Kuusamo is surrounded by National Parks, pure nature and comprehensive services. In Ruka-Kuusamo area you can go active on adventures or relax in well-being services, enjoy good food and quality accommodation in stunning sceneries all year round.
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.

Polar nights and blue moments of the midwinter, late winters sun and shining snow, ice and the northern lights; this is the frame where the unforgettable arctic adventure is just one contact away. Journey goes through the snowy forests and icy lakes together with fast snowmobiles, friendly husky dogs or calm reindeer. When it’s time to quiet down, we’ll admire the sceneries and enjoy the quietness at snowshoe- and ice fishing trip.Nightless night and autumn colors Summer light, keennes and colors of spring and autumn reminds of the circulation of life. Diversity of the nature of Kuusamo and rapidly changing seasons leads us into the summer adventures. Blazing white water rafting, mind calming hikings and fishing trips give everybody that something which makes Kuusamo and Ruka Safaris so special.Ruka Safaris have weekly program for Summer and for Winter and we offer programs for groups too. We will take you to unforgettable adventures!

From Ruka Ski School you can get lessons for alpine skiing, snowboard, telemark, cross country and skiing for disabled persons. There are lessons for groups but also private lessons.
Just back from a week in Ruka. Had a five day group ski school booked through Crystal Holidays. Ashley the instructor was really good he managed to get a group of five novices from the nursery slopes to a red run in five lessons.

Breathtakingly beautiful hike in autumn! Did 82+ km hike with my friends in late September - colourful sceneries, varied landscape , friendly people. Very well marked trail, suitable for beginners yet not too easy. The hardest terrain is from Porontimajoki to Ruka (which was the last leg in our case) but it's also the most beautiful if it's happen to be good weather. The trail isn't too wild and meets number of smaller trails so you'll probably meet any kind of hikers on your way. Take a tent or a tarp with you 'cause the huts may be full. We would like more campfire sites, especially crowded was the last night in Porontimajoki. It's nice to have a fire on a wet chilly night. But we are all very happy with this experience.

Nice rapids and waterfalls. Kiutakängäs is series of waterfalls, the first one is the largest. It is about 800 meters( one way) from visitors center, quite easy trail, with some stairs. Nice views.
