Accommodation records for resort:
|
| Cross-country skiers will relish the challenge of trying to cover the total of 200kms of trails amongst fantastic scenery and alpine skiers can ski until 7pm as 23 out of the 28 slopes are floodlit. When the sun goes down, you will experience the atmospheric blue polar light and if you are lucky, catch a glimpse of the amazing Northern Lights, mainly between December and February. |
the skiing
advanced
Expert skiers will have fun on the steeper red slopes and the black runs on the north and western side of the mountain. There is also a freestyle area, mogul field and some exciting off-piste through the trees.
intermediate
Pistes in the area provide plenty of scope to work on technique, ideal for the established skier with beautiful tree lined runs and no lift queues. You will particularly enjoy the challenges of the red runs on the western side of the mountain.
beginner
A great resort in which to learn to ski as the slopes tend to be uncrowded.
family
Ruka is a fantastic choice for children. Ski lessons start from age 5 and there is also a kindergarten next to the main ski lift. The 'Kaltiolampi Kids' area just next to it is an outdoor snow field with a small lift which is free for use if accompanied by parents but does not have local supervision.
snowboarding
In addition to the pistes, enthusiasts can also ride on the three half pipes and a variety of jumps, hand rails and snow boxes in the snowboard park.
apres ski
When it comes to having a good time, the Finns are no slouches and après ski is always a lively affair, with plenty of music. Try Ski Bistro, the Hotel Rantasipi's après ski bar or the Riipinen Game restaurant. |
