About Levi

Levi is Finland's premier ski resort and one of the most complete winter destinations in Lapland. While aurora scores are slightly lower than farther-north alternatives, Levi compensates with Finland's best ski infrastructure — 43 slopes, 27 lifts, and a vibrant aprés-ski scene. The combination of world-class skiing by day and aurora hunting by night makes Levi uniquely appealing. Dedicated aurora tours head into the dark wilderness surrounding the resort, and the elevated fell-top positions offer good viewing corridors. The resort has invested heavily in glass igloo and sky-view accommodation. Families are very well catered for with dedicated children's slopes, reindeer farm visits, and a complete activity programme. Regular charter flights from the UK, Germany, and France make Levi one of the most accessible Lapland destinations.
