Ruka is one of Finland's most popular ski resorts. There are 34 slalom slopes, 30 of which are illuminated in the evenings, and 150 kilometers of tracks for cross-country skiers. Transportation is provided by 21 elevators (5 chairlifts and 16 rope tow elevators). A long season (at least 200 days a year) is possible thanks to snow cannons operating at temperatures of -3°C and below. 90 units allow to create a perfect covering on any slope in just a day.
The resort has a BatteryPark snow park, the best in the country. It is designed for riders of different levels of training and is improved every season, offering more and more new opportunities for extreme riders to practice tricks. There are jumps, boxes, rails, mini-pipe and other shapes, as well as Bag Jamp.
Those who come to the resort with their families can leave their children at Sadetahti day care center. Here the kids will be looked after by professional tutors who speak Finnish, English and German. Skiing lessons for the resort's young guests take place on the gentle Vuosselli slope.
Active recreation lovers will find the Ruka Club center, where they can play tennis, squash, mini-golf, billiards, badminton and basketball, and visit the gym.
