Ski-Inn RukaValley

Nice stay near Valtavara hiking trail. On first floor restaurant with tasty cuisine. Sure return this quite place. Thanks for perfect time in Ruka, kitos ! :)

Booked to go to Ruka as a last minute decision on skiing as we weren't sure where to go this year and wanted somewhere a little different to the usual Apres ski led resorts and wow did we make a great decision!! Ruka Village was perfect for myself and my 2 grown up sons and had everything we could have wanted right on our doorstep! The apartment was a 2 bed a very spacious, had great cooking facilities and 2 large bedrooms along with all the things above and beyond what we could need (dishwasher/washing machine) and of course the compulsory sauna in the bathroom! It's less than a 2 minute walk to the lifts and right in the heart of a lovely ski resort that is more about good eating than heavy drinking and that suited us this year! The ski area is smaller than most european resorts but has quiet lifts and very well kept slopes that make the experience just as enjoyable, and with the ability to easily head back to the apartment for lunch and a sauna and then head back out as the slopes don't close until 7pm we had the most incredible relaxing ski break we have ever had! Ruka village has everything and we will be returning to experience once again the beauty of Finland!

We had a brilliant stay at the Ruka Valley Apartments with Crystal Holidays! We stayed in a family studio which was an ideal size for a family of 4 and had everything we needed for our self catering holiday. We loved being so close to the slopes and having our own ski locker outside the door. We also found the drying cabinet really handy too. The accommodation is finished to a really lovely standard, the beds were very comfy and we loved having our own sauna to warm up after a long days skiing! The staff were very friendly and helped us book taxis for our trip to Lammintupa Winter Village where we did husky sledging and snow mobiles for the children. Ruka Valley was much quieter than the village side which we really liked but it's easy enough to hop on the Gondola to visit Ruka Village where there are lots more bars and restaurants and a bigger grocery shop. There is a shop on the valley side which stocked most things you would need but there was a little more choice in the village shop. Ruka Valley is ideal for families and beginners as it is located by the nursery slope and the family park. We had two lovely meals in the Camp Kitchen and Bar which is within the same building. The staff were very attentive and the food was delicious! We fell in love with Ruka Valley and would love to return again soon for another amazing holiday in a winter wonderland!

The hotel/apartments were great, amazing location, fully equipped apartment... The only downside was the food, we stayed half board so had breakfast in the Colorado bar, the selection was very limited and they only had one 2 slice toaster which was very frustrating. The staff were also rude and very unhelpful. Dinner was in the piste restaurant, staff were very friendly and there was a kids play area which was great. However the food selection was very poor: 2 meat options, one veg and one potato and the only drinks available were water and coffee. Each meal worked out at £26 per person per night, it was definitely not worth that when you can buy a large pizza over the road for £14! We have already booked again for next year but this time self-catering!

Lovely apartment and very good restaurant downstairs, parking free, wifi a bit hit and miss but got replacement modem from reception, then fine. Friendly staff and good ski lockers for each apartment. Very much recommended. We could even see northern lights from parking lot.

Absolutely Fabulous! We booked half board with Crystal Ski and had a very comfortable studio apartment which more than suited our needs. Small kitchen with microwave, coffee maker, kettle, fridge, washing up liquid, kitchen towel, dishcloths tea towels, and a small amount of tea, milk, sugar, & instant coffee. Sauna was great and used daily! Bathroom had hand soap dispenser and a shower body wash dispenser, hairdryer & towels. The apartment was very clean, warm and homely it also a great drying cupboard. TV was good but not a smart TV so very limited channels. There’s a great laundry room on floor 4 free to use and Small shop on the ground floor. Half board was taken on ground floor in The Camp Kitchen restaurant, breakfast was buffet style, scrambled & bold eggs, mini hotdogs sausages, hams, cheese melon, yogurt, fruit compote, cereals, pancakes, porridge, breads, tea, coffee & juice. Evening meal was a set menu. The lovely friendly staff were happy to adapt things a little when asked. The Ski lockers are just outside the building so nice and easy. We very much enjoyed our stay at Ski- Inn Ruka and the ski resort was perfect for us as mix of beginners intermediate and advanced skiers snowboarder. We will definitely return again soon. ❤️🇫🇮
