Lapland winter wonderland activity holidays in Levi
Levi is our most popular Lapland resort with good reason. In recent years its infrastructure has been developed to an enviably high standard with an impressive range of accommodation and a wide choice of excellent restaurants and cosy bars. Its ski area is regarded as the best and most extensive in Finland and offers snow-sure, uncrowded skiing in an area of exceptional natural beauty. This pristine winter wonderland of snow-sculpted forests and glistening frozen lakes offers an extensive choice of activities including exhilarating husky, reindeer and snowmobile safaris. Skiing amidst the silence of the fells in a mystical blue twilight with rose-coloured dawns and dusks will leave you with indelible memories. For a really unique experience try a night in a thermal glass igloo with a chance to see the mesmerising Northern Lights shimmering in a star-studded night sky.
Santa Breaks in Levi
Beginner skiing in Levi
Wonderful resort in which to learn to ski. Uncrowded slopes, small classes and friendly English speaking instructors.
Intermediate skiing in Levi
Great area ideal for early intermediates with wide flattering runs and no lift queues.
Advanced skiing in Levi
Limited challenges, but good off-piste snow conditions and Levi's World Cup gondola slope.
Snowboarding in Levi
Perfect for learning on reliable snow including a special "snowboard alley" and halfpipe.
Cross-country in Levi
Simply the best for all ability levels with refreshment huts and unlimited trails. Levi has 230kms of prepared trails. 28kms of these are floodlit. There are even dedicated loops where you can ski with your dog, plus 18kms of marked winter walking trails. The 18km circle around Levi fell is easy even for novices, with possible breaks at two different reindeer farms, and can be extended a further 15km along the Ounas river to Köngäs, returning via Luvattumaa with its café and Ice Gallery. More challenging routes circle Kätkä and Pyhä fells with overnight stays possible in wilderness huts like Aakenuspirtti in the midst of a silent snowy wilderness. Several lean-to shelters, kota resting spots and cafés punctuate the routes.
The whole area is a cross-country skier’s idyll and particularly well-suited to those trying the sport for the first time. Tracks are meticulously prepared and well signposted and there is always somewhere to take a break and enjoy a hot drink and snack around an open fire. You can make your routes as challenging or as easy as you choose, without any high level of fitness necessary. Cross-country skiing is an excellent low impact sport, especially if your alpine skiing legs have had their day, and is a wonderful stress-free and healthy way to get out into unspoiled nature.
