Ruka Holidays
;img.crop(width:658%2Cheight:370))
Holidays to Ruka are all about outdoor adventures, whether it's snow-capped peaks in winter or alpine forests in summer.
Little piste of heaven
A ski resort masterpiece, Ruka's tucked into the hills of northern Finland, just south of Lapland. Perfectly positioned for snowboarding and skiing, it's an easy walk to the slopes. Meanwhile, newbies can sign up for introductory lessons, or just opt for hot choc in a cosy log-lined bar.
When in Ruka
There are over 29 downhill slopes and a massive 500 kilometres of cross-country skiing trails here. The runs are open 200 days a year and there are pistes for everyone, from mega pros to wobbly-legged first-timers.
Park life
In the summertime, the forested trails and still lakes lure in hikers, as well as Europe's ecotourists. Walk or mountain-bike the sun-kissed paths, keeping a lookout for local wildlife like reindeer, elk and squirrels. If you've got energy to burn, sign up for adrenaline-pumping white-water rafting, paintballing or a wilderness safari.
