12 of us went to Ruka the week of 15th March, and had 3 Ruka Suites apartments. I have to agree with all the previous reviewers that the apartments are lovely and well maintained. Dont rush out to buy Washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, loo roll etc as they were supplied in all of the 3 apts we had, along... more

Just returned from Ruka, went between 9th and 16th of March 2008. Booked a 6 person room at the Ruka Suites through Iglu Ski (in assosiation with Crystal Ski). We were very impressed with the room, we only had 3 people, 4 would be ideal for the size of the room. It was clean, it has partial heated floors and... more

Five in our family (kids 17/14/12) went skiing in Ruka 10-17 Feb 08 and we stayed in the Ruka Suites, and here is our review. Flight: Booked with Crystal so flew with Astreus, outbound was 1 hour delay, inbound 3 hours. Delays are common for this operator to all destinations, catering was ‘OK’, panini, and pastry (although red pepper and... more

We stopped Jan 08 in Ruka log cabins (5803 with Inghams) Stunning location very quiet at this time of year so ideal for skiing & sightseeing. Log cabin fully equiped with fridge, microwave, fire (free logs), sauna, dishwasher, washing machine, dvd / video / cd player, videos, radio etc... However, storage space was tight and to get upto the mezzanine... more

Stayed 2006 and 2007 because all the family loved it! v.cold in jan 2006 -30 plus wind chill, I recommend thermals,balaclavas and silk glove liners, but the sun shone everyday-ideal for the northern lights. We stayed in the log cabins are cosy and well equipped and are located in woodland areas. We enjoyed our walk upto the village,although you can... more

My husband and I had thought about a ski-ing holiday for some time but never plucked up the courage to go. We were both beginners but loved the ideal of ski-ing along with husky rides etc. Purely by chance during Jan 07, we popped onto last minute.com and found a late deal for a trip to ruka, lapland. The cost... more

Just back from wonderful week in Ruka (23rd Dec) staying at log cabins. The location is beautiful - really quiet in the forest close to frozen lake - and ours was fantastically equipped (dishwasher, DVD player, CD system, washing machine) but they are all unique and you can't be sure what yours will be like. NOT a short walk to... more

4 of us travelled out to Ruka for skiing in March this year. 3 of us had skiied before but we had one complete beginner in the group. The holiday was fantastic from start to finish. The Ruka Appartments are modern and comfortable although the second bedroom is very cosy and not to private - although if you get on... more

We stayed at the RukaSuites apartments, half-board, through Inghams on 4th-11th Feb 2007. Firstly, I cannot praise Inghams enough for the organisation, excellent reps and standard of accommodation offered in our package. Ruka is very beautiful. Lots of frozen lakes, snow covered trees and stunning views. The slopes are excellent for beginners and intermidates, although there may not be enough... more
