Skiing in Ruka-Kuusamo can be a peaceful experience away from crowded places. This skiing trip takes place in our rural village with impressive views toward Lapland. Finding our rythm, we ski at a slow pace, allowing the calm surroundings to guide us on an inward journey.

A hearty lunch is served in our village lakeside Kota. Our wilderness chef welcomes you to try local wild food - picked in the neighboring forest. Relax together around the fire and observe the cooking unfold in front of you. You'll also have the chance to participate in cooking with the guidence of our chef. This cozy wilderness lunch is like a warm hug after an exciting day in the arctic outdoors!

This trip supports the local food producers in our area. Part of the profits goes to the village association to help organize community days and maintain the communal Kota and nearby nature trail.
