Ruka Kuusamo is known for its natural beauty. This region of fells, forests, and untouched wilderness is surrounded by rivers, lakes, and rapids. Kuusamo, Finland’s most popular holiday destination, attracts almost a million tourists every year. Many tourists visit in winter months to take advantage of the excellent skiing at nearby ski resorts, including Ruka Ski Resort, which is one of the largest in Finland and has international standing. Ruka hosts numerous international ski-jumping and cross-country skiing competitions, as well as combined nordic competitions.

Kuusamo is more than just a ski resort. The city is located on a plateau at 250m above sea level. From here, the waters flow in five directions, connecting it with the Barents Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia. Kuusamo is surrounded by thousands of lakes, rivers and rapids. These are all surrounded by ancient forests, which are hemmed in with some of the most striking waterfalls in Finland. This beautiful wilderness is home of some of Finland’s rarest animals and plants. The area is close to Russia and has a variety of fauna and flora, including Siberian, arctic and Southern species.

Kuusamo is characterized by a sharp contrast between the seasons. The winter is long, cold and very snowy. However, as summer approaches, the region becomes sunny and the temperature rises to 20° Celsius. This creates an explosion of greenery under the midsummer sunlight that doesn’t dip below the horizon. Midsummer Night celebrations last well into the next day and are a beloved celebration for both locals as well as tourists. Even though the nights are bright until August, the landscape begins to change. Nature is dazzling and delighting with its myriad hues of yellows, oranges and reds as it turns darker.
