ABOUT RUKA-KUUSAMO
Located in the northeast of Finland, Ruka and Kuusamo offer a perfect blend of adventure, nature, and relaxation year-round. The area is known for its stunning forests, countless lakes, and the nearby Oulanka National Park, famous for the scenic Karhunkierros Trail.
In winter, Ruka transforms into a vibrant ski resort with excellent slopes, snowmobile safaris, reindeer and husky rides, and northern lights viewing opportunities. Summer and autumn bring endless possibilities for hiking, canoeing, bear watching, and enjoying the rich colours of Lapland’s “ruska” season.
The Kuusamo Airport is only 25 minutes from Ruka, with daily connections to Helsinki, making the region easily accessible. Visitors can choose from a wide range of accommodation options, from cozy log cabins to high-quality hotels and spa resorts. It’s highly recommended to book early, especially during peak winter months.
