Ice activities in Lapland

There are so many fun things to do whilst on holiday in Lapland, whether you are staying as a group of friends or as a family with children of all ages. From giving show-shoeing a try so you can view the wilderness around you or perhaps a race around the course in an ice-karting competition. There is no doubt you will have a full and exhilarating week.
Our excursions are added extras you can book as part of your Lapland holiday.

What’s included in a Snowshoeing excursion:
Take a gentle guided snow-shoe walk, immersing yourself in the stunning Arctic Circle scenery. Breathe in the fresh air as you reach some spectacular and untouched beauty spots. On your well deserved break you will take a seat ready for hot drinks and interesting stories about the night sky, Northern Lights and the Lappish culture.
Choose to take a daytime trip or an evening walk, searching for the magical show of the Northern Lights.

What’s included in an Ice Karting activity excursion:
Get competitive and race your friends and family in this exciting ice-karting event, take your turn at rallying around the course and see who is your speediest team member. Ice-karts are easy to drive and similar to Go-Karts but on a snow-packed track.
This exciting event from Levi and Saariselka includes driving instructions, helmets, thermal suits, boots and gloves. With warm up laps, heats and a final with prizes, you will be the Lewis Hamilton of the ice-karting world in no time.

What’s included in the Snow Village & Bar excursion:
The clever lighting of the snow, ice-sculptures and wall-carvings, and the way the lights glow through the solid ice 'furniture' creates a mystical feel to the Lainio Snow Village & Bar.
Each winter it takes over 27,000 cubic metres of snow, chunks of river-ice up to a metre thick and weighing up to 3 tonnes, and a team of 50 people working flat out for 350 hours, to create its impressive 4,500 square metres of this village. Beautiful carvings decorate the rooms, courtyards, ice bar, restaurant and Ice Chapel.
From Levi and Ylläs, a day visit includes a tour around the Snow Village & bar and a trip into the Ice Grotto where you can see ice sculptures and decorated snow suites on show.

What’s included in the Wilderness dining experience:
Take a scenic snowmobile sleigh ride through the snowy landscape past forests and icy lakes to arrive at a traditional Finnish cabin in the woods that surround Levi. Enjoy a three course meal made with local and foraged ingredients for a unique dining experience.
Bookable when staying at the Levi resort.
