The Natural Beauty of Ruka-Kuusamo

Ruka-Kuusamo is renowned for its natural beauty, a region of fells and forests in an almost untouched wilderness adorned by lakes, rivers, and rapids. Kuusamo is one of Finland's major holiday destinations, attracting almost a million tourists each year. Many of these tourists arrive in the winter months to enjoy the excellent skiing available at the nearby ski resorts, especially Ruka Ski Resort, one of the largest in Finland, and of international standing. Indeed, Ruka hosts numerous international competitions in ski-jumping, cross-country skiing, and nordic combined competitions.

Unexplored Wilderness and Diverse Wildlife

Kuusamo attracts more than just skiers, as the city is situated on a plateau approximately 250 meters above sea level, and from here the waters flow in five different directions, connecting it to the Barents Sea, the Gulf of Bothnia, and the Baltic. Surrounding Kuusamo thousands of lakes, rivers, rapids, canyons, and ancient forests have remained untouched, all hemmed in by some of the most striking falls in all of Finland. This beautiful wilderness is home to some of Finland's rarest species of animals and plants, including the large predators of the forests such as wolves, bears, and wolverines, and provides the nature lover with the chance to experience something truly unique. Because of its proximity to Russia, fauna and flora are diverse, comprising arctic, Siberian, and Southern species.

Seasonal Contrasts and Celebrations

In Kuusamo, the contrast between the seasons is sharp. The winter is long, cold, and very snowy, but as summer arrives the region becomes sun-drenched and the average temperature climbs to 20 degrees Celsius, which causes an explosion of greenery and growth under the light of the midsummer sun that doesn't sink below the horizon. The Midsummer Night festivities last throughout the night well into the following day and are a much-loved celebration for locals and tourists alike. Nights remain bright right into August, and as they finally darken the landscape undergoes its most beautiful transformation, with nature dazzling and delighting as it dons myriad shades of yellows, oranges, and reds.
