Understanding Levi

When an experience says "Levi", it does not necessarily start in Levi centre.

​

Levi centre (Sirkka) is the heart of the resort, with accommodation, restaurants and ski slopes. Many husky kennels, reindeer farms and wilderness locations are located outside the resort, in the surrounding countryside.

 

Always check the meeting point and whether a transfer is included when booking activities.

Coming to Levi to ski?

Levi is one of Finland´s best ski resorts, with well-maintained slopes for all levels. Many travellers combine skiing with husky safaris, reindeer experiences, and other activities.

​

Leave some flexible time in your itinerary and don´t book every morning and afternoon - it gives you room to enjoy the resort, the weather and spontaneous opportunities.

Can I see the Northern Lights in Levi?

Aurora by car (STG) (11).jpg

Yes, when the conditions are right.

​

​Levi is located in the aurora zone, and you can often see the Northern Lights here on clear nights. However, the aurora cannot be guaranteed - it is a natural phenomenon.

​

A guided Northern Lights tour can be very helpful for transportation, access to good locations and local knowledge, but it is not a mandatory condition to see the aurora.
