Ruka-Kuusamo in Finnish Lapland is one of Europe’s great winter destinations: a place of world-class skiing, husky safaris, reindeer experiences, snowmobile tours, Northern Lights, vast wilderness national parks and Finland’s UNESCO-recognised sauna culture, recently named Outdoor Destination of the Year 2025 by the Scandinavian Outdoor Award. This winter, getting there from the UK is easier than ever before.
