    Brilliant family ski location in Finland

    We really enjoyed an incredible few days in Ruka ski area. Great slopes for all grades of skiing. Very child friendly with Rudolph child ski school. Great instructors. Very easy to rent equipment. All in all an incredible experience. We would gladly go back.
