Levi · Finnish Lapland, snow from October
Levi. Seven months of winter, ten minutes from the airport.
Finland's best-known ski village wraps around one fell: 44 slopes, 26 lifts, the World Cup slalom slope, and a pedestrian centre at the bottom. Snow is guaranteed from October to May, the aurora shows up 111 nights a year, and the airport is 15 km away.
Why Levi
The certain one.
Levi is not about vertical – 290 m at most – it is about certainty. The season opens in early October on stored snow and the lifts run into May. Five slope areas and four parks are linked by a Ski Bus now included in every lift pass, and the cross-country tracks start where the village ends.
Levi Ski Resort guarantees snow for seven months, October to May, with over 300 automatic snow cannons and preserved snow that opens the Front Slopes in early October. The resort counts more than 200 skiing days a year.
Levi Black (G.2) on the West Slopes hosts the Alpine World Cup slalom every November. Five slope areas – Front, South, West, Northeast and Southeast – plus four snow parks are linked by a Ski Bus that is included in all ski passes from 2026/27.
Levi records an annual average of 111 aurora sightings, and the aurora period runs until April. Around 230 km of maintained cross-country tracks include 28 km of lit routes in the Rakkavaara area.
Where to stay
In the centre at Zero Point, in a log cabin on the fell, or by the lake.
Hotels and apartments stand in the pedestrian centre at the foot of the Front Slopes. Cabins – most with their own sauna – spread across Utsuvaara and the fells, and the lakeside places on Levijärvi and Immeljärvi are a few minutes away by car.
Levi village centre sits at the foot of the Front Slopes around Zero Point, with hotels such as Levi Panorama at the summit and apartment blocks like Levi Suites and Polar Star within the pedestrian centre.
