The winter sports resort has a particular reputation for Nordic disciplines with international ski jumping and cross-country skiing competitions. The alpine ski resort of Ruka has the longest ski season in all of Finland. From October until May, the lifts usually run for over 200 days. And although the Rukatunturi, like all mountains in the region, has just a small altitude difference, the ski resort still manages to offer a varied selection of slopes for skiing and snowboarding. Freestylers can have lots of fun in Ruka Park with its different lines and a pipe. It is one of the most popular snowparks in Finland. A wide range of other activities such as dog-sled and snowmobile rides, cross-country trails and tobogganing complete the attractions.
Note: The openening times are provided by the ski resort Ruka and can vary based on external conditions, day of the week, school holidays and public holidays.
