Construction Site Info – Ruka Village

The construction of the Break Sokos hotel has begun in Ruka. The construction site area will be fenced off and will take up part of the parking area. Traffic during the construction of the hotel will be concentrated on Hiihtokouluntee, but construction site traffic will not be avoided in the parking lot either. The foundation work of the hotel will be completed in late 2025, the frame work in early 2026 and it is planned to be completed in autumn 2027.

The best place to park in Ruka village is the parking garage. The taxi rank will remain in its place opposite the Zone. A parking space has been reserved for buses at the Stadium.

See below for updated information on potential impacts of the construction work.

Update 6 December

The water tank and district heating modifications are now complete and the parking lot is in use for passenger cars. The hotel construction site fences will remain in place until 2027. Bus parking will continue at the stadium.

Update 5 September
