Ruka's history officially dates back to 1954, when the first slope, now known as the front slope, was cleared. The journey from building the first lift to the present day has included new slope areas, the evolution of lifts, the rise of Ruka Village in place of the former parking lot, restaurants, Ski-Inn hotels and apartments, a gondola, and numerous other major and minor projects. Today, Ruka offers diverse experiences year-round, and fortunately, the happy story shows no signs of ending.
