The first thing you'll need for a ride in Ruka is gear. And we'll tell you where to find it.

Ski rentals are available at four locations in Ruka. In the eastern part you can check out the Piste, where you can find equipment not only by size, but also by level of professionalism. For beginners there is standard equipment, and for professionals - VIP, which can be changed free of charge during the entire rental period. The same services are offered at VuosselinPortti ski and snowboard rentals.
