There are plenty of cross- country ski runs there. Not only in Kuusamo itself, but also in nearby Ruka , where the cross-country World Cup competitions start each year. This is also because the driving season there is practically from October to May. In terms of routes, there is a lot to choose from. It is also worth adding that some of them are adapted to night driving, thanks to artificial lighting.
