When the sun shines on the snow, the apres-ski terraces at the foot of the Ruka slopes come alive with skiers relaxing in the crisp Arctic air, drinks in hand. Whether soaking up the winter sunshine on a sun lounger, enjoying live music or warming up with a hot drink or a beer, these lively outdoor spots are a beloved part of the resort experience. Combining fresh mountain air, sociable crowds and the satisfaction of a day well skied, they capture the joyful, laid-back spirit of an Arctic resort afternoon.
