The supermarkets in Kuusamo town and at the Ruka resort are the practical shopping hubs for self-catering visitors, well stocked with groceries and everyday needs. Beyond the essentials, they are a good place to find local Lappish products such as smoked and dried fish, reindeer, cloudberry and lingonberry preserves and other regional specialities to enjoy during a stay or take home. Central and convenient, they make cabin holidays easy and offer a handy way to sample and stock up on the distinctive flavours of the far north during a visit to the region.
