LEVI

In the midst of an unspoilt Arctic wonderland lies the exotic Lappish resort of Levi. Renowned as one of Finland's best and most extensive ski areas, it offers year-round hospitality, an excellent location and snow-sure skiing from November to May and a warm friendly atmosphere ideal for an all-round winter holiday. In addition to the international FIS and World Cup standard skiing centre.

Levi offers opportunities for a variety of sports, from golf to kick-sled safaris and horseback riding to hunting and mountain biking. For those seeking more unique winter wonderland experiences, Levi has a host of offerings including husky, reindeer or snowmobile safaris, visits to meet Santa, gold panning, rapid shooting, survival skill contests and a chance to see the magical Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).

During the warmer months, it’s a great place to enjoy some Finland golf, not to mention other activities like cycling, white-water rafting, fishing and so much more. Great restaurants, a lively nightlife and apres-ski scene, and a nearby airport in Kittila help to make Levi Finland the most famous ski destination in the country. The unique cultural evolution of Levi up to the present day is reflected in Sammun Tupa and the Lapp village in Levi. Tourists can visit the St. Mary's Chapel at Levi. It is the spirit of the fell village. Levi culture is multi-hued and sparkling with so much to offer to the tourists, never ceasing to amaze. In March and April daylight hours are longer than in the UK, temperatures rise and snow conditions are at their best, although, whatever time of year you visit you will be captivated by the magical and untouched natural splendour of Lapland.

At the moment, half a million travellers visit Levi each year, a quarter of which come from abroad. Based on hotel stays, Levi was the largest travel resort in Finland between January and April 2008. Growth from the previous year was strongest at Levi (+27.8%). The number of international guests staying in hotels was 124,600, an increase of 32.9%

"The best feature of Levi is its location: in the North and near an airport. As the snow-covered area shifts north, charter flights fly further, and travellers appreciate the fact that the destination is within easy reach. A direct flight takes you near the resort."

Mr. Vesa Heikkinen, Research Manager, Lapland Travel
