Recreational Activities Nearby

Villa Vuossel is located on the shore of Lake Vuosselijärvi, on the east side of Ruka Fell, near the Ruka village shops and services. In winter it is easy to go cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling, or  take an ice-fishing trip to a nearby lake. Alpine skiing slopes are only a short drive from the cottage. In summer you can find lots to do in the area: there is a lakeside sauna with a sandy beach, canoeing and rowing trips, fishing at the lake (there is 3 fishing licenses for our quests), and the famous Kuusamo rapids, hiking routes and wilderness. In late summer the woods surrounding Villa Vuossel are filled with wild berries and mushrooms, full of summer flavours, waiting to be picked.

Lakeside Cabin for Summer Accommodation or for Guests

Near the Villa, right by the lakeshore there is a lakeside cabin which can be separately rented mainly in summer. At other times it is rented as e.g. a guest house for the guests of the Villa tenants. See Photo Gallery
