Why visit Levi?

Levi is Finland's largest ski resort and one of Lapland's most popular year-round destinations, located in Kittilä, about 170 km north of the Arctic Circle. With 44 slopes, 26 lifts, and the only gondola in Finland, Levi draws skiers and snowboarders all winter — but it is far more than a ski resort.

In winter, Levi is one of the best places in Finland to see the Northern Lights, ride a husky or reindeer sled, and meet Santa Claus in the nearby Arctic wilderness. In summer, the midnight sun turns the fells gold: you can golf at midnight, hike panoramic fell trails, fly-fish Lapland's clear rivers, and ride world-class mountain bike routes.

Getting here is easy. Kittilä Airport is just 15 minutes away, with direct flights from Helsinki and seasonal connections across Europe. From the airport you are minutes from the slopes, the golf course, and the fells.

The Story Behind the Chalets

We are a couple with a deep passion for Finnish Lapland and the Arctic lifestyle. To us, quality means attention to detail and a genuine connection to nature. Our two premium chalets in Levi offer you a high-end home away from home, right at the foot of the fells. Discover how our dream became a reality and why we fell in love with this unique place.
