About Ruka
Ruka rises above the forests and lakes of Kuusamo, close to the Arctic Circle. It's a compact fell skied from several sides, with long opening hours, floodlit slopes and a season that often runs from autumn into May. These Ruka webcams range from working slope views to a 360-degree summit panorama and a camera pointed at the aurora.
Which Ruka webcam to check first
Start with the summit 360 and the Front Slopes for an overview of cloud, snow and activity. Vuosseli, Masto and Talvijärvi show the different sides of the fell, and the Ruka Park cameras cover the freestyle terrain. After dark on a clear night, the aurora camera at Pessari's top station is the one to watch.
Before you go to Ruka
Check Ruka's opening hours and slope map for the latest lift and piste status. Short winter days, wind and sudden temperature changes affect visibility and snow, and some cameras and floodlit slopes run only in season.
Webcams and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. A camera can't tell you whether a lift, piste, road or off-piste route is open or safe.
