스키-인 루카밸리(Ski-Inn RukaValley)

The room was amazing and clean, loved the sauna and the balcony view. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful and breakfast was delicious! A bit hard to get there if you don’t have a car when the gondola is not working.

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 ! :)

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!

Started our 7 night stay in Ruka valley apartments on Christmas Eve 2023 . Didn’t start well as we didn’t seem to have a bed for our ten year old . We were told it’s under the other two singles that were made up . We revisited the room and found a mattress on small caster wheels . We were then told that’s it and no one was going to make it up or help in anyway like where to put it as space was a little limited . As the title suggests the answer so far has been no . We requested extra pillows and was refused , later in the week we asked for towels again the answer is “no” . Seems Pinja only knows “no” as an answer to any of our requests. I have asked to speak to the manager tonight but that was also a “no “ as it was 945pm . No regard for trying to keep a family happy at the reception . So far the food has been a buffet every night and has changed the main offering each night . Wine starts at 12€ a glass of wine. Obviously Finland is very expensive and you can buy a bottle for 90€ for only a half decent drop . Tonight food was chicken tikka. Which was very nice but it ran out twice halfway through service . I did manage to get fed but only just tonight . Last night was. Meat balls and mash . Gala dinner was meats and mashed carrot or mashed turnip .

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. ❤️🇫🇮

Was unsure when deciding Valley or Village but in the end despite the glitches with the Gondola service in the evening due to wind I was happy with the ski in facility and peace and quiet here in the Valley. The rooms I should say apartments are spacious and great to have my own sauna, I was glad I decided to do B & B and then have the freedom of the evening meal at the hotel of in the Village. Everything was clean and comfortable.

I honestly can’t recommend this absolute gem of a place enough! We had a jacuzzi apartment with a sauna, the sauna was just essential after a cold day on the slopes. The apartment was new, clean, modern and cosy! We love it so much here we are hoping to return next jan 2024. The facilities are great there is a little well equipped shop downstairs to grab snacks and food etc and a restaurant/cafe which serves the most delicious food, cakes and hot choccys with all the trimmings. The only negative was their was a half eaten tub of Ben and jerries ice cream left in the freezer in the apartment and also no one came to service the hot tub all week, so by the end of the week the hot tub had had no chlorine in and smelt pretty bad after my kids had been in it every night of our stay. However the apartment is warm and an absolutely ideal location opposite the slopes and gondali. This is a magical location and we are hooked and will definitely be back!
