Experience the festival of light in the midst of polar night, more spectacular than ever
Experience the enchanting Polar Night Light Festival 2026 light installation at Ruka from January 9th to February 2nd, 2026! The world’s northernmost light installation, which illuminates the ski slopes, will return for 2026. While much of the installation is centered on the slopes, the magical world of lights extends beyond them, creating a captivating experience. Immerse yourself in a mesmerizing and mystical atmosphere that redefines the meaning of a "Winter Wonderland."
The festival is free to attend, but a lift ticket is required to enjoy the light displays on the slopes.
