Levi
EUROPE · ARCTIC · SKI & AURORA
Finland's biggest ski resort — a fell above the treeline, a World Cup slalom hill, and 230 kilometres of snowmobile trail.
The plan
Ski the fell
Wide, well-groomed and floodlit — Lapland skiing is gentle and long-lasting (Nov–May).
Summer fell hiking
From June the same slopes are open walking country under the midnight sun.
Book before you fly
Ski week accommodation
Finnish school holiday weeks in February and March book out a year ahead.
Snowmobile & aurora tours
Licence needed to drive your own; passenger seats are cheaper and always available.
Getting there

Kittilä (KTT), 15 minutes away — direct from Helsinki and seasonal charters from Europe.
From the airport
