The downhill slopes and diverse services of Ruka Holiday Resort are located only a 15-minute drive away. The selection of activities and adventures is wide, on land and water, and in summer and in winter. The Ruka area also has plenty of restaurants and shops to choose from.

Taivallahti Holiday Cabins is a family company founded in 1982.

Our holiday village is situated by the beautiful Lake Kitkajärvi near Kouervaara hill. Our selection includes six holiday cabins of different sizes ranging from the Sauna cabin for two to the Riihilampi cabin for six people.

There are plenty of fun things to do at Taivallahti.  You can go fishing, take a trip on the lake with a row boat, pick berries, or go hunting. There are many good hiking routes nearby, and in winter we maintain an illuminated ski track.

If necessary, we can provide you with expert guidance for fishing and hunting. You can also buy the required fishing and hunting permits from the owner. We rent fishing equipment, boats, canoes, and outboard motors.

There are lots of well-maintained ski tracks in the area. In summer, they double as good hiking routes. The starting point of the hiking route is near the cottages. The route is connected to the Karhunkierros Trail, and through Kouervaara and Naatikkavaara to all the way to Ruka. In winter you can drive a snowmobile on the lake ice or in the holiday village forest, or go along a snowmobile route which runs near the cabins.

Welcome to Taivallahti to admire the midnight sun, the beautiful autumn colours, the peace of the winter dusk, or the shining snow in the spring.
