· quiet location in east Ruka · 10 minutes' bus ride to the centre of Ruka and the main ski area · next to a tow lift connecting you to the resort’s eastern slopes (open from Christmas onwards) · 5 minutes' bus ride to the ski school meeting point
The Maston Aitio Cabins look the part, nestled among the pine trees, but are modern inside and finished to a very high standard. They're set in a quiet location just outside the centre of Ruka – which is a 10-minute bus ride away – so you’ll feel like you’re in a winter wonderland.
Right next to the cabins, there's a tow rope that's open from Christmas onwards. This connects to the main slopes on the east side of the mountain and means you’ve got ski-in, ski-out access to Ruka’s varied ski area.
All the cabins have a private sauna and a wood fire in the living room to help keep you toasty on those icy Finnish nights. There’s free WiFi, a satellite TV and a DVD/CD player to keep you entertained, while the fully equipped kitchenette makes mealtimes a doddle.
