Levi Ski Resort

Levi

Finland's largest ski resort, with 43 runs and gondolas up to a glass hut at the summit. Lit runs allow skiing under the polar night.

Levi lies in the municipality of Kittilä, about 170 km northwest of Rovaniemi. It is Finland's largest ski resort area, with 43 runs, 27 lifts, a longest run of 2.5 km, and a vertical drop of 325 meters. Most runs are blue and green, making it ideal for beginners and families. Nearly all the runs are lit at night, so you can ski under the blue light of the polar night. In early November, the resort hosts an alpine World Cup giant slalom race. The ski season usually runs from late October to early May, making it one of the longest seasons in Europe. The summit, at 531 meters, has the Levi Panorama Hotel and the Golden Crown Levin Iglut glass igloo, both reached by gondola. At the foot of the mountain is Levi village, where hotels, restaurants, and supermarkets are within walking distance. Other facilities include more than 60 km of cross-country ski trails, reindeer and husky farms, snowmobiling, and the Levi Ice Gallery ice castle. A day lift pass costs about 55 to 60 euros, and a full set of ski equipment rents for about 40 euros per day. Ski lessons must be booked in advance, and there are few Chinese-speaking instructors. Getting there: Kittilä Airport (KTT) is 15 minutes from Levi. In winter there are direct flights from Helsinki and European charter flights. A long-distance bus from Rovaniemi takes about 2.5 hours. In summer, Levi switches to mountain biking, hiking, and golf, and the gondolas run from June to September. Northern lights are visible from the summit and from the shore of Lake Levi. The resort's aurora-viewing cabins are very popular.
