Winter Activities
Winter transforms Kuusamo into a peaceful white wilderness, inviting you to explore nature in its calmest form. With Ruka Safaris you can experience the season through snowshoe walks in quiet forests, energising snowmobile adventures, husky rides across frozen lakes and memorable encounters with reindeer herders. As daylight fades, the northern lights often appear above the treetops, creating evenings filled with Arctic magic. Whether you seek gentle moments outdoors or full winter adventures, every experience connects you with the beauty and stillness of the North.
