Ruka ski summer sleigh downhill track

If you visit the Ruka ski resort and you want to challenge yourself (just a little), I recommend you to take the ski lift to the top of the hill, enjoy the great views and instead of walking or taking the lift down, use the sleigh track downhill the ski resort front slopes. The track is situated right in the center of the ski resort and the entry point is just next to the ski lift upper station. The tickets for a single round trip are needed to ride the sleigh and they are fairly expensive for a single trip (12 euros for an adult in 2021) but a daily pass can be bought with a reasonable price. The track itself is as fierce as you make it. There’s a break on the sleigh so you can easily control the speed. The maximum speed that can be reached is quite high and using a high speed will add an additional fear factor to the ride. But I guarantee, it’s suitable for everyone - just control the speed according to the personal preferences. But one thing that is undeniable. It’s so much fun that even as an adult I was thinking of riding it again and again. For the kids it’s a full day entertainment. The Finnish ski centers in Lapland (well, to be accurate Ruka is just outside Lapland) do offer more and more fun during the summer season too. If you decide to come to see the nightless and bright nights of the northern Finland, I really recommend to stay in one of the biggest ski resorts (especially Ruka or Levi) to fully enjoy the summer season. #finland #ruka #travelguide#hiking#naturalwonders#roadtrip#summervacation#urbanexplorer
