Travelling as a family or group in the Arctic winter, the maths and the logistics both point to one answer: a private transfer. Here is why it is the best way to move between Ruka/Kuusamo and Ivalo or Saariselkä when there are a few of you.
One price for the whole group
The transfer is €700 per vehicle, one way — for up to 8 passengers. That is a flat price whether there are two of you or eight, so the cost per person drops fast for families and groups. No per-seat surcharges, no surprises.
Built for families
- Child seats on request — safe and legal for little ones
- Door-to-door — no dragging tired children and bags between bus stops
- Warm throughout — a heated van from your cabin to your destination
- Comfort stop — a break to stretch, snack and warm up
Keep everyone together
A private vehicle means your whole party travels together on your schedule — no splitting up across connections, no waiting for the slowest bus. Load the ski bags and suitcases, settle in, and let a local English-speaking driver handle the winter roads.
Itinerary idea: combine the transfer with a family Icebreaker Cruise & Ice Floating day or a reindeer safari for an unforgettable Lapland week.
