Step out into the snow-covered landscapes of Ruka and embrace the season with our wide range of winter nature adventures. These guided activities let you discover Lapland beyond the usual trails and experience the Arctic wilderness up close.

Outdoor Experiences for All Levels

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing outing or a more active experience, we have something for everyone. Try cross-country ski basics, a great introduction to one of Finland’s most beloved winter sports. If walking is more your pace, join one of our snowshoeing hikes. We offer treks to iconic destinations like Oulanka National Park, the scenic hill of Valtavaara, and the snowy wonderland of Riisitunturi.

Each hike is led by local guides who share stories about the land, the forests, and the changing seasons. With every step, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the Arctic environment and its peaceful beauty.

Arctic Water and Ice Adventures

If you’re curious about water-based activities, don’t miss our Arctic river floating. Dressed in a thermal rescue suit, you’ll gently drift down a calm river surrounded by frozen scenery. It’s one of the most unique ways to experience Lapland’s tranquility.

For something more traditional, our ice fishing trips take you to local frozen lakes. You’ll learn how to drill through the ice, drop your line, and maybe even catch your own Arctic fish. It’s peaceful, social, and a great way to slow down and enjoy the silence of winter.

And for the active explorers, the guided fatbike safari offers a thrilling ride through snowy trails, combining sport and scenery in equal measure.

All activities are suitable for beginners and include all the necessary equipment. Warm clothing and professional guidance are always provided.

These winter adventures in nature invite you to connect with the land in an active, respectful, and unforgettable way. Join us to explore the wild side of Ruka and take home a deeper connection to the Arctic.
