It includes the K120 large hill and smaller facilities K64.[2]

Since the 2002–2003 season, Ruka has regularly hosted World Cup competitions, and sometimes also hosts the Continental Cup.

Before the 2016–2017 season, ice tracks were installed on the hill.[3] The large hill and two smaller hills have a plastic matting. The official record is 150.5 metres, jumped by Halvor Egner Granerud, in the Ski Jumping competition in 2022.[4]
