    Stugan låg på passligt läge från slalombacken, bara att ta skidorna och traska rakt över sjön till liften. Supersmidigt. Ville man till byn var det samma sak, bara att gå rakt över sjön och sen gena mellan stugorna rakt upp till byn.

    Mökki vastasi kuvausta ja oli juuri sopiva tarpeisiimme. Reilunkokoisella löhösohvalla oli mukava palautua päiväretkien rasituksista. Keittiö oli hyvin varusteltu ja pikkukokkaukset onnistuivat niillä sujuvasti. Sängyt olivat ehkä hieman kapeat,...

Rukan Talvihovit are four high quality villas which are located near nature and winter activities.
The villas are located by the Lake Talvijärvi (Winterlake) 3 kilometres (2 miles) away from the centre of Ruka. In the wintertime you can walk on the ice of the lake, and cut through the way to Ruka. Ruka wintercourts are very highly equipped. There is plenty of room to accommodate 4 to 12 persons, depending on which villa you are staying. During winter cross-skiers can enjoy and use the wide ski track network of the Ruka area. The nearest ski track is only 50 metres away from the villas. It is also possible to cut through to the nearest ski lift on the ice from November to April. The distance is only 500 metres. For those who appreciate car transportation, there are great taxi services. Ruka Wintercourts are also located right next to the Ruka Ski Bus route. The ski bus is an affortable way to reach the hillsides and all the services of the Ruka centre.
