Top Winter Activities in Finland

I think taking the Ruka Express chairlift early around 9 AM is the best way to avoid long lines. Trust me it makes a massive difference in your skiing experience.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks while hitting the slopes. The on-site restaurants can be pricey and it’s nice to take a break with your own stuff.

If you're into snowboarding, make sure to check out the Ruka Park. I found it super fun, but try to go in the morning before it gets crowded!

I suggest checking out the night skiing on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It’s a totally different vibe, and you won't believe how magical the slopes look under the lights.

Pack some snacks and drinks for the slopes. The cafes are a bit pricey, and having your own stuff makes breaks easier and more relaxing.

Try to rent your gear at the base instead of at the higher rental places. It saves a bit of cash and you won't miss out on riding while you're waiting around.

My advice is to rent your gear ahead of time. Renting there can be a bit pricey and the lines can get long, especially on weekends. I had to wait ages!

I suggest checking out the season pass deals if you're planning to stay for a few days. It could save you some serious cash on lift tickets. I wish I had looked into that before!

I suggest trying the local restaurants for lunch; they have some amazing reindeer dishes that you won't find in typical tourist spots. It's a nice break between activities.

I recommend checking the weather before you go. It can change fast, and knowing what to expect will help you dress appropriately and plan your day better.

If you're into skiing and snowmobiling, consider getting a combined ticket. It saved me quite a bit, and I got to enjoy both without breaking the bank!

One thing I learned is to pack some snacks. The dining options are a bit pricey, so I brought some energy bars and saved money.

I suggest checking out the package deals for lift tickets and rentals online before your visit. I saved a good chunk of change that way!

My experience was so much better when I hit the slopes after 3 PM. The crowds thinned out and the snow was so much nicer!

I think the sauna at the resort is a must after a long day on the slopes. It's the perfect way to unwind, so I won't skip it next time!
