Ruka Family Winter Adventure

Ruka and Kuusamo provide the perfect family winter holiday destination, with plenty of activities to keep the whole family entertained and with breakfast and dinner included, you call leave all the daily chores at home!

During this week-long holiday, you will stay in a cosy kelo log cabin on the shores of a frozen lake and feel the crunch of fresh snow under your feet each day, as you head out to explore this beautiful region.

Every day brings a new adventure, from speeding along the snowy trails by snowmobile to hand feeding the reindeer and taking a sleigh ride at a traditional farm. There are few activities that appeal more to families than an exhilarating husky safari, definitely one for the memory bank and an experience you will most likely wish to repeat in the future. When not out enjoying guided activities, you are free to grab a sledge and make your own fun... you are never to old for a spot of tobogganing! When you’ve had enough of the snow, head back to your private cottage to warm up in your private sauna. 

Still not convinced? Maybe the best reason to choose Finland for your next family holiday is an exciting and truly magical encounter with Santa Claus!! During the week you will be invited on an unforgettable trip to Santa’s Cottage, a very special place where he takes time out from his usual busy schedule to meet with families and share some of his secrets.

There is plenty of time for relaxation and during the week you will also be treated to a traditional Finnish sauna experience. Begin with a relaxing soak in the hot tub and take a dip in the ice hole if you dare, before reaping the benefits of the wood-fired sauna.

If you still have energy to spare there will also be time to take advantage of the well-maintained down-hill ski slopes at Ruka or the Rosa & Rudolph Family Snow Park at Vuosseli… on this holiday, the fun never ends!
