Ski lifts at the ski resort Ruka

The slopes around the Ruka peak are accessed by modern 6-person chairlifts with weather-protection covers. The Saarua slopes and the snowpark are accessed by a detachable (fast) 4-person chairlift and a 3-person chairlift. A cable car links Ruka village to Ruka Valley. Additional tow lifts and button lifts connect the remaining slopes. Moving carpets for children complete the lift facilities.
