Aurinkorinne Apartments
The modern Aurinkorinne Apartments offer a stylish, spacious retreat for families and groups seeking a peaceful Arctic escape. Tucked away amongst snow-draped pine trees just west of Ruka’s vibrant village, these high-standard apartments blend tranquillity with slope-side convenience.
A nearby T-bar lift whisks you straight into Ruka's versatile ski area—famed for its exceptionally long winter season—while a direct ski-in-ski-out trail brings you right back to your door. Inside, you'll find ski lockers next to the front door, while drying cabinets ensure your boots are warm by morning, and well-equipped kitchenettes make self-catering a breeze. Post-ski, you can unwind in your private sauna or curl up by a roaring log fire.
Ruka's laid-back centre is a ten-minute uphill walk away, offering a handy, well-stocked supermarket, cosy restaurants, and off-slope entertainment like bowling and an indoor play area. It’s also the perfect launchpad for classic Arctic activities, from husky sledding to searching for the Northern Lights.

Free WiFi
The ski slope to the Aurinkorinne Apartments is not always open in December, so it may not be possible to ski to and from the apartments if you’re staying during this month.
Some buildings may be a little further from the slopes, therefore not all rooms will be ski-in, ski-out.

Check-in is at 6pm. If your transfer arrives before then, you'll be dropped off in Ruka's village centre and you can store your luggage in Ski Inn Ruka Village Hotel. You'll need to take the ski bus to your cabin at check-in time, which is free with a lift pass.
Check-out is at 3pm. If your transfer coach is scheduled after then, you'll need to make your own way to the village centre on the ski bus to be collected. Due to the narrow roads, the coach doesn't have direct access to your cabin and you might need to walk a short way with your luggage.
