Ruka

Reviewed By GallowaysOnTour2912 - Seaford, United Kingdom

We visited Ruka AGAIN!!! 3rd year in a row over Christmas. We travelled with our 2 teenage boys and younger daughters. Ruka, has something for everyone, hence why we have returned 3 years in a row. This trip was for 2 weeks, we sampled most of the activities and we hired a people carrier and ventured out to Lammintupa, which is a MUST!!! Fantastic value where reindeer rides and husky rides cost you €15 & €25, plus snowmobile rides for the kids and there is also a restaurant onsite that is great! Overall, Ruka is a fantastic place to visit.

They rent ski pants and other ski clothes, unlike at zero point. Plus everything else you need. It’s very close to zero point, so it’s a perfect alternative to rent your stuff here. Friendly service and good price, so all in all a perfect 5-star!

Urho Kekkonen National Park

Reviewed By Minion_adventurer - Southern Finland, Finland

As the second biggest National Park in Finland this park offers peace and tranquility just few steps from the center of Saariselkä village. You have easy walking routes coming to the border and then short and longer snowshoeing trail. Short one you can do on any weather but the longer one takes you up on the fjell so you don't want to take that in a bad weather. Skiing tracks are going more deeply inside the park. At the summer hiking routes are going everywhere.

Seven Fells Up

Reviewed By travelinh1 - Los Angeles, United States

Every tour we signed up for was filled with adventure and local knowledgeable guides that gave great history on the area. From the snowshoeing up to the Kuers, up through Äkäslompolo with salmon soup to the evening northern lights tour, I loved every one of them! Highly recommend this company! Thanks to Keijo, Artturi and our northern lights tour guide! I learned so much about the beautiful country of Finland.
