SUMMER IN LEVI
Summer in Lapland is rich in all kind of experiences and activities. Lapland, the last big wilderness in Western Europe, is a home to many unique nature treasures. High mountains, open plateaux, forests, rivers and waterfalls meet the cultural landscape of the Sami people, making this an outstanding place to visit. Summer and Autumn Summer in Lapland is pleasantly warm and you can escape to peace and solitude in a land where Reindeer out number the locals.
Levi offers fun and action for the whole family during the summer. There are many ways to explore Levi. For the more adventurous there are plenty of hiking and mountain bike trails, and the rental shop hires mountain bikes, nordic walking sticks, rollerblades and rucksacks. There are even rucksacks to carry your baby! For the less adventurous you can travel up the fells in the sightseeing gondoli, or try the chair lift which takes you comfortably up the front slopes followed by a thrilling summer bob sleigh ride back down the hill! There is also a skate park for children, outdoor and indoor swimming possibilities and a new golf course is being built for the autumn. A trip up to the Tuikku Panoramic Restaurant is also a must. The scenery from the fell top restaurant is breathtaking. Snacks and refreshments are served during the day, and midnight sun dinners are available on request for groups in the evenings.

*Levi offers you a challenging adventure!
Levi Adventure Park is located in the Gondola area, in the forest next to the Levi Black piste. Here you can experience a genuine mountain adventure that's completely safe. The Adventure Park has six tracks of different lengths and levels, identified by colour codes according to the difficulty. Adventurers can thus choose the ones that best suit their skills. Most of the adventure takes place in the air, several metres above ground level. Adventurers make use of cables as well as wooden and rope bridges to move safely from one point to the next, eventually conquering the entire track. Practicing in the park requires balance, concentration, coordination and sometimes strength as well.
The Adventure Park is great fun for families as well as work groups.
Everyone does the tracks at the level that suits them – or maybe just a bit more difficult.
The track for children - lowest and easiest track - runs at 50cm off the ground and is intended for 4 to 6 year olds (minimum height 100cm).
At 9 metres off the ground, the black track is the most challenging of them all. It is intended for the most athletic visitors (minimum height 155cm) who want to test their limits, mentally as well as physically. On the 11 challenges of this track, including Swinging Steps and Tarzan’s ropes, your strength and balance are really put to the test. The black track ends with a 100-metre slide, the Flying Fox

Gaze at the breathtaking landscape of Levi fells from the air.
Two gondola lifts are travelling above the arctic forests. On the west side there is a lift for 6 people and on the north side a lift for 8 people. The 6 person-lift floats peacefully in approx. 20 meter height along the fell’s west side. The view over the lakes and neighbouring fells Pallas, Aakennus, Olos and Ylläs is awesome. Below the Gondola lift the Levi Bike Park is situated. Short and longer walking tours start from the peak station, e.g. to the restaurant Palovartija (20.06.-28.09., 12 am-17 pm). By the Express-Gondola lift you reaych the Nature- and Congress centre Levi Summit. When floating above the village of Sirkka you will be embraced by a fantastic panorama of the fells Särki, Olos, Pallas, Sammal, Keimiö and Ounas. Each of the 6 Gondola lifts can carry 8 people at the same time. During summer it is also possible to go down the fell by the summer sledge track and have coffee in a valley at a comfortable Café Tanja.
