REAL WINTER

W O N D E R N ° 1

T H E S U B - Z E R O W I N T E R S E A S O N is the best time to enjoy the frosty

scenery of Levi. Snow is almost always guaranteed. The snowfalls begin in late October or early

November and continue until mid-May. The snowdrifts are high for up to seven months of the year: you will have ample time to build snowmen,

make snow angels and ski downhill or cross-country across powder snow.

In the Levi area, you will be breathing the purest air in the inhabited world. According to measurements carried out by WHO, the purest air can be found on the Sammal fell in Pallas, around 35 kilometres from Levi — over there, the particle content is less than 4 μg/m3. Levi

is an excellent place for skiing, hiking and exploring — or just breathing deeply. Take some

of the air with you in a jar back home!

S I L E N C E , pureness and unique natural environments, unparalleled in the world — welcome to Levi and Finnish Lapland! In Levi, you will enjoy

eight seasons, instead of just four. This is an ancient Lappish and Sami tradition. Survival in the northern climate required being constantly attuned to nature. What does crusted snow sound like under the feet

— snow that will support your weight? What do the Northern Lights sound like? What does the rich spectrum of autumn colours look like on fells and in the forests in the North? No matter when you

arrive, your experience will always be unforgettable. Wondrous. You are warmly welcome!

❄Go for a walk in a winter forest with a nature

guide. Levi offers guided hikes of various lengths and durations.

SEASON OF CRUSTED SNOW

W O N D E R N ° 2

The first ray of sun in the spring inspires visitors to try winter sports. The crusted snow will

support your weight, and the sun caresses the face.

R I D E A D O G S L E DHave you always dreamed of a ride on a dog

sled, of enjoying the speed and feeling the wind on your face? Levi is the place for you. You are

in for the most delightful ride of the winter – you can even try driving the sledge, if you can

muster the courage. We have activities for everyone, from children to daredevils. Our dog

sled experiences range from one-kilometre rides to overnight safaris.

T R Y S N O W A C T I V I T I E SCross-country skiing continues to be the

most popular winter sport in Finland. In Levi, you can experience its meditative effect, the

mindfulness aspect of skiing. The wide ski tracks, fields of snow and exciting forest routes

offer memorable moments. You can also go snowshoeing in Levi. Snowshoes are easy

to use and will take you to places that you cannot reach on skis. Take a thermos with you

and enjoy the magnificent scenery!

A D M I R E T H E S K YLevi offers a wide range of accommodation options designed to allow you to

observe the winter sky and the Northern Lights before you go to sleep and when you open your eyes in the morning. For example, the glass walls at the northern

lights suites reveal the northern sky in

all of its glory.

SPRING MELTS THE ICE

W O N D E R N ° 3

Towards the spring, the snow smelts slowly and nature begins to prepare for the summer. The

first stalks of grass reach towards the sun, the birds are singing to celebrate the new

season, and the reindeer calve.

C H O O S E A P L A C E T O R E S TAfter an active day, you deserve to

relax totally. Levi offers accommodation options for all budgets. How about a hotel

room, a cottage, a suite or the House of the Northern Lights? You decide.

R E L A X I N A S PA Spring is a time of renewal for the body

and the soul. Levi Hotel Spa is the perfect place for greeting the rays of the sun.

S A M I L A N DThe Sami are the only indigenous people in the European Union. Samiland in Levi

is part of the UNESCO Observatory Cultural Village programme. Spend a day

learning about the culture, history and present day of the Sami!

W I N T E R S P O R T S PA R A D I S ELevi has a total of 43 ski slopes, something for every taste. The youngest

members of the family can start with ski school, those interested in tricks can try South Park, and older members can head towards the major slopes. Cross-country skiing is immensely popular as well! Take

part in the world-famous Visma Ski Classics marathon race and let the snowy scenery challenge your endurance in an entirely new way.

In the summer, sunlight paints the top of the Levi fell and wakes you up gently in

the morning — or even in the middle of the night. The midnight sun never sleeps. It

shines around the clock for 45 days. This is the perfect time for canoe trips or a sauna in the early hours of the morning, or for picking flowers to cast Midsummer spells.

E LV E S H I D E AWAY–Elves Hideaway is an experience village located in Köngäs, just eight kilometres from the Levi fell. The village is open all year round. In the village, you can watch elves prepare for the main festivity of the year. Or you can listen to fairy tales, study at elf school or sit on Santa’s knee. Soon it will be Christmas again! Book your trip in advance.

D O W N B Y T H E R I V E RHow about a canoe trip in the summer, when the

sun never sets? Or a fishing trip with friends amidst beautiful scenery in Lapland? Read more about our range of canoe and fishing trips on our website, and

reserve your place well in good time.

H O P O N A B I C Y C L EAt Activity Park in Levi, you can try downhill mountain biking on the west side of the fell. All of the equipment you need is available for hire. Beginners are also wel-

A C T I V I T I E S F O R C H I L D R E NFrom early June to mid-August, we offer guided

activities for children, free of charge, every weekday. The Adventure Park and summer sled track, as well

When the summer days get shorter and the evenings darker, it is time for

harvesting. This is the best time to explore the natural environments in Levi and the superfoods growing there! You

into your mouth. Take part in a guided trip and see for

yourself!

P I C K S U P E R F O O D SIn Lapland, you can pick blueberries,

When winter nears, nature dresses in its most vibrant

colours. Autumn colours paint the fells. As far as the eye can see, the forests turn

beautiful shades of orange and red. It is time to slow down, meditate, walk in a forest and breathe the fresh autumn air.

TA K E A P H O T O O F Y O U R E X P E R I E N C E

The autumn colours in Lapland are breathtakingly beautiful. Make memories for a lifetime and take photos of the playful

colours, the falling leaves and the Northern Lights. On our guided trips, professionals will give you tips for nature photography and

the best angles.

❄Did you know? In

Lapland, you can see the Northern Lights as

early as late August. We offer a wide selection

of trips for you to catch this magnificent natural

phenomenon. How about floating or a cruise under

the Northern Lights? More information is

available here:Levi.fi

The reflections of the Northern

Lights on the surface of the

water are a once-in-a-lifetime

experience.

When the first snowflakes of the winter fall onto the ground, Finns go a little crazy. Winter is here again! It is time to take out the skis, put on your ski gear and try to catch the first snowflakes on your

tongue. Finns excel at enjoying winter: they love winter sports, winter saunas and ice swimming.

E X P E R I E N C E T H E W O R L D C U PLevi has hosted an Alpine Skiing World Cup

event since 2004. Finland is an Alpine country — without the Alps. Paint your face blue and

white, practice your cheers and witness a World Cup event surrounded by Alpine skiing

fans. Learn the names of Finnish Alpine skiers, immerse yourself in the atmosphere and enjoy

a world-class sporting event.

❄Did you know? Finns love ice swimming. It improves the

circulation and is believed to have

a favourable effect on asthma,

circulatory problems, rheumatoid arthritis and arthrosis pain.

Muster up the courage and feel the invigorating effect of

ice-cold water!

I G L O O SIn Levi, you can also stay overnight in an igloo. The igloos are traditional, but are

made of glass instead of ice. You can admire

the bright stars and the Northern Lights

through the glass roof. An experience that will

stay with you for life!

After the first snow has fallen, people gradually begin to prepare for Christmas.

Wrap a blanket around yourself, sit down by the fire and be inspired by the main event of the winter: Christmas! The Christmas season in Levi is full of enjoyable activity. Try a reindeer safari, visit the neighbouring snow villages and follow the elves on an Icelandic

horse. The weekly programmes for Christmas offer everything from ice fishing to go-karting on ice. You can also invite Santa to visit your holiday

apartment. Book your visit in good time! I C E H O T E L

How would it feel to sleep in a hotel made of ice? Come
