Levi

Levi is situated 170km north of the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland, offering a truly unique ski destination in Europe. It's renowned for its Arctic charm, including the Northern Lights, reindeer, and its proximity to Santa Claus's home. The resort even boasts a World Cup slalom course.

Kittilä Airport (KTT) is conveniently located just 15 minutes from Levi. It offers direct seasonal flights from major hubs like London, Manchester, and other European cities.

Levi features a World Cup slalom course (a Black run), offering a challenging experience for confident intermediates and advanced skiers. Enjoy magical night skiing under floodlights; it's particularly enchanting if the Northern Lights make an appearance.

Levi is an outstanding destination for beginners and first-timers, providing gentle, wide runs in an unhurried atmosphere. The long season further enhances the learning experience for those new to skiing.

A major strength of Levi is its appeal to families, especially through its unique Arctic activities:

• Reindeer safaris: Embark on a traditional Lappish sleigh ride.
• Husky rides: Experience the thrill of dog sledding across snowy landscapes.
• Snowmobiling: Explore the vast Arctic wilderness.
• Northern Lights tours: Seek out the spectacular aurora borealis.
• Ice fishing: Try a peaceful, traditional Finnish winter activity.

For advanced skiers, the terrain is somewhat limited by a modest 326m vertical drop. Visitors often come more for the unique Arctic experience and atmosphere than for extensive challenging pistes.

The Northern Lights season in Levi runs from September to March, with the best viewing opportunities typically occurring in January and February.
