A unique Finnish ski holiday awaits you this far north, where a magical winter wonderland is home to dreamy ski slopes and amazing experiences.
Where else can you wake up inside a cosy glass igloo to the aurora borealis dancing above your bed? Then spend the day skiing down floodlit pistes past pine forests and frozen lakes? In Levi there are countless experiences to enjoy alongside the wide choice of uncrowded slopes.
There is skiing for all abilities in Lapland and Levi is ideal for all; from keen skiers to beginner skiers, with plenty of fresh powder thanks to its latitude. The freezing temperatures create a longer ski season than the rest of Europe too.
Pistes are on fells rather than mountains and quieter than other short-haul ski resorts. Private and group lessons support learners to find their snow-feet, and there are ski schools for kids. Experienced skiers will be challenged too, thanks to the abundance of red slopes, tricky black slopes and a snow park.
Floodlit slopes ensure pistes are open even in the depths of the Artic winter, then come February - when there are more hours of daylight - Levi opens up additional runs. Skiers keep their energy up by stopping off at kotas - a traditional Lappish style hut serving soups, hot chocolate and warm wines beside an open fire.
But what makes a ski holiday to Levi in the winter season so very special is that it goes far beyond skiing. Explore the breath-taking scenery on a husky sleigh ride or reindeer safari. Survey the star-studded night sky from your private outdoor jacuzzi. Visit in December and family-friendly Lapland means the opportunity to visit Santa Claus. And take the 40 minute transfer from Levi to the Lainio Snow Village, with its snow and ice sculptures built every year in November, a real once in a lifetime experience.
Snow-sure, uncrowded skiing; pristine, quiet slopes; winter excursions through stunning scenery; and a range of accommodation, from glass igloos to traditional log cabins; all make skiing holidays to Levi in Lapland truly exceptional.
