Just looking at the Ruka Village Hotel and Apartments, it’s obvious they were designed with skiers in mind. The location is perfect - in the centre of the pedestrian village, less than a minute’s walk from the ski lifts, so you can be first on the mountain. The main ski school area is a short bus ride away on the east side of the mountain and the bus stop is just steps from the hotel door.Ruka is a small resort, so all the amenities are close by. The Kumpare shopping centre is right next door, so you can stock up in the supermarket, play a few games in the bowling alley, or let the kids run riot in the Adventure House indoor play area.You can choose between a hotel studio or a self catering apartment, which are larger and great for families or groups. Whichever you go for, the rooms are spacious, warm and very modern. All of them have well-equipped kitchens – especially handy given that dining out can be quite expensive.Arguably the best feature of the rooms is the private sauna. Or go a step further and choose a Type G apartment, which comes with a Jacuzzi® - you’ll definitely thank yourself after a day spent in sub-zero temperatures.Breakfast is included if you’re staying in a studio. Taken in the Colorado bar, you can dig into the generous buffet to set you up for the day. There’s also an option to upgrade to half board for all customers, with evening meals taken in the nearby Piste restaurant.
