The Ruka Coaster is the northernmost roller coaster on the planet — a 767 metre alpine coaster that swoops through snowy fell forest at up to 40 km/h. Crucially, each sled has its own brake lever, so you set your own speed: gentle for children, full-throttle for the brave.

Here's everything you need to know, including price and how to book.

What is the Ruka Coaster?

An alpine mountain coaster fixed to a rail, running down the Ruka fell. You control your sled with a hand brake, so it's as calm or as fast as you like — genuinely fun for kids and adults alike, in summer or deep winter snow.

Price & how to book

Our guided Ruka Coaster & Family Snow Fun day trip from Rovaniemi costs €220 per person (minimum 2 people) and includes the scenic guided transfer from Rovaniemi and snow play at the fell. Book online in a couple of minutes.

Is it family-friendly?

Yes. Because you control the brake, younger children can ride slowly with an adult while thrill-seekers let go. It's one of the most popular family activities in Lapland.

Combine with the aurora

Spend the day on the coaster and in the snow, then join an evening aurora hunt for a perfect Lapland day-and-night.
