Polarman's Camp is one of Levi's most popular live Arctic evening programs - a private wilderness camp ten minutes from the village with an open sky, a frozen river, a hand-built snow igloo park, Lappish BBQ by the fire, and a warm aurora dome.
Polarman’s Camp & Snow Igloo Park Live - Live Arctic Evening on Private Land, Ten Minutes from Levi
Polarman’s Camp brings together everything the Arctic winter has to offer - in a single live evening on private land, just minutes from Levi.
Why This Arctic Evening Stands Apart from Any Other Program in Levi
Private land, no light pollution, almost 360° open sky, ten minutes from Levi centre
The Polarman as host, a local guide with genuine Arctic expedition experience
Live ticketed event: one price, every attraction included, nothing extra to buy on site
Aurora dome always open, always above +15°C (59°F) - guests move freely between inside and outside all evening
Hand-built Snow Igloo Park (Dec 10 – Mar 31) - carved archways, tunnels, igloos and snow sculptures lit in deep blues, purples and ambers after dark
Professional photo session throughout the evening - images sent by email after the event
People travel hours, sometimes across the world, to reach the kind of silence, darkness and open sky that real wilderness offers. This is ten minutes from Levi centre. No light pollution, no resort noise, an almost 360° open sky overhead - and a transfer that takes less time than finding a parking space.
Your entrance ticket covers everything. From the first fire to the last marshmallow, every part of the evening - the walk, the snow park, the Polarman’s presentation, the dome, the BBQ, the stories, the photographs - is part of a single live program, with the Polarman as your host throughout.
The Polarman - A Local Northern Host Who Has Lived the Arctic
The Polarman is not a regular safari guide. He is a local person who has spent years living and travelling in the Arctic, with a genuine background in long-distance expeditions in extreme arctic conditions. When he talks about surviving the cold, reading the sky or how to build a snow shelter, he is speaking from experience. The stories he tells by the fire each evening are his own.
Being Outside in the Arctic Night - Cold, Dark and Real
For many guests - coming from warmer countries, from cities, from places where snow exists mainly in photographs - being in a real winter wilderness is already something. Standing beside an open fire in a silent snowscape. Walking along a frozen river in the dark. The whole evening is designed so you can be properly outside - cold, dark, real - and always have somewhere warm to go back to. The aurora dome is always open, always above +15°C (59°F), all evening. Guests move between outside and inside freely, on their own terms.
The Snow Igloo Park - Hand-Built Each Winter, Lit After Dark (Dec 10 – Mar 31)
Built each winter by hand as soon as the freezing temperatures hold, the Snow Igloo Park is a world of carved archways, connecting tunnels, igloos and snow sculptures - enclosed by walls of packed snow, and lit after dark in deep blues, purples, reds and ambers. The coloured light thrown across the white snow under an open winter sky is something photographs almost don’t do justice to.
Arctic Survival Presentation Inside the Snow Igloo
Inside the big snow igloo, the Polarman gives his Arctic survival presentation — sharing the knowledge and techniques that have kept him safe on long expeditions in the north. One detail that surprises almost every guest: at -30°C (-22°F) outside, it is genuinely warm inside a snow igloo. It’s a surprise for most visitors. You feel it yourself.
Children find their favorite parts of the park - tobogganing on the snow slide, finding their way through the maze, exploring the snow tunnels.
Nov 20 – Dec 9 — The Snow Igloo Park as It Takes Shape
In late November and early December the Snow Igloo Park is still under construction. The vast blocks of snow that are used to buildthe walls and structures are mid-formation — partly built, partly raw. Not a lesser version of the park, but a different and rarer one.
The Guided Walk Along the Frozen River — Private Wilderness on Foot
The Polarman leads a guided walk through the private camp area along the frozen river — away from the dome and the firepit, into the quiet of the forest and the dark. The kind of walk that is only possible on private land, after dark, with someone who knows the place.
The Lappish BBQ, Firepit Storytelling & Arctic Night Sky
The evening closes around the outdoor firepit. Collect your sausage from the Arctic BBQ Snow Station — a serving counter carved from snow inside the igloo — then grill it on a stick over the open fire. Marshmallows follow. More stories from the Polarman. The sky above.
Staff watch conditions throughout the evening. When there is activity in the sky, guests are called outside immediately, professional camera ready. The camp’s location — private land, no light pollution, almost 360° open skyline — makes it one of the best spots near Levi for Northern Lights viewing when conditions allow.
Professional Photo Session — Images Sent by Email After the Event
A professional photo session runs throughout the entire program. All images are processed and sent to guests by email after the event — no need to manage your own camera in the cold.
Who This Is For
• Guests who want a complete live evening program rather than a single attraction
• Families with children of all ages — no physical requirements, aurora dome as warm refuge throughout
• Northern lights hopefuls who want to combine aurora hunting with a genuine Lappish evening
• Anyone who wants to experience real Arctic wilderness without a long journey from Levi

We went on the trip to Polarmans Camp and it was absolutely brilliant!!!!!!
The guides Sam and Will were super friendly and knowledgeable. The camp with the igloos and campfire and warm done a really cute setup.
More importantly though, we saw the Northern Lights when we arrived and they exploded again to end the evening!
Highly recommended!
