Directions to the park

Ylös & Alas Adventure Park is located on the hillside above Ruka Village. The easiest way to get there is by taking the Village-2 lift, which operates during the summer season (please note that this lift ticket is not included in the park-ticket). From the top station it’s just a short walk to the park. You can also reach us on foot from Ruka Village. The walk takes around 15 minutes uphill.
