Ruka Village Hotel & Apartments, Ruka, Finland / Lapland

· in the centre of Ruka village · less than 1 minute's walk to the Village-2-Valley gondola and Village Express chairlift · 15 minutes’ bus ride to the ski school meeting point near the Rosa & Rudolf Family Park · less than 1 minute's walk to the activity pick-up point · next to the Kumpare shopping centre, with supermarket, bowling alley and indoor play area

Looking at the Ruka Village Hotel & Apartments, you can see it was designed with skiers in mind. For starters, the location is perfect – in the middle of the pedestrian village, less than a minute's walk from the lifts. And next door, there’s a shopping centre where you can stock up at the supermarket and play a few games in the bowling alley.

Then there's the apartments themselves – they're typically Scandi in style and have plenty of space, and you can choose the set-up that suits you, whether that's a studio on bed & breakfast basis or a bigger self-catering apartment. They’ve all got that Finnish staple, a private sauna that's perfect for a spell of après-ski relaxation. And to step it up another notch, pick a 3-bedroom apartment and you can sit in your own outdoor hot tub on the balcony, soaking up the warmth and views.

Mealtimes can be as flexible as you like. Stick with bed & breakfast or self-catering to prep your own meals – or try out the local restaurants – or upgrade to self-catering plus or half board to get your evening meals included with your holiday.
