Ruka - Reviews & Ratings

Ihan hyvaa!Cool place to spend the day with friends, and enjoyed a pint. Good layout of rental area and a small ski school for the kids. Lift could use a upgrade and the price is fair.

Quiet slopes; fast and efficient chair lifts; well groomed; wide runs-lots of blue and red; good for families

Had the best time especially with the polar lights, the other activities you can do like speed sledging on a night or riding sledge with huskys

the ski resourt has a hotel at the bottom of the slopes which gives easy access to the slopes. The food prices in every restraunt is very good value for money and you can easily get lessons if you are a beginner. all the lifts are comfy and easy to get to. there are a load of sloped for all levels of skiing and/or snowboarding.

Brilliant compact family friendly resort. The slopes are unbelievably quiet and the locals are warm and welcoming.

For a first time skier, this resort was very welcoming and friendly. It has a range of slopes for difficulties and a family friendly slope for beginners and children. I had a 1 week holiday in Ruka and have advanced to intermediate level. The staff are incredible and taught me so much. I was nervous and doubtful when going skiing for the first time, but the instructors never pushed you too hard unless you were ready to move on. I would come back here time and time again. 5/5 stars.

Ruka Ski Resort is absolutely stunning. Depending on the time you visit, you can have the slopes all to yourself. However, this resort is small compared to other resorts Ive been to. During our first two days in Ruka, we managed to ski down all the runs. As an Intermediate skier, I would recommend this resort to people who are just learning and families with small children. Night skiing is great and the slopes are open till 23:00 on Fridays. We experienced the Polar Night Light Festival and although it looked amazing, we were underwhelmed as it was only a section of the slopes with colourful lights.Ruka Ski Resort is amazing when complimented with spending time doing experiences Lapland has to offer. Definitely a bucket list resort and do not regret coming.

Went to this ski resort years ago but its the best Ive been to in Finland. The slopes are very pleasant, not too steep but still exciting. Theres also black slopes but havent tried those. Ruka village is really cute and theres great after ski parties, bars and restaurants. Also the nature surrounding the ski resort is very beautiful.

Pros: great for beginner/intermediate, fast lifts, often quiet slopes, winter wonderland vibes, safe and friendly feelCons: can be VERY cold, minimal apres and dining options, expensive once in resort, not a huge ski area (but enough for most people)

Good for beginners or park riders. It was COLD when I went there in January. Would recommend to beginners looking to improve on quiet slopes. The night skiing and light show was a nice addition to the week.
