General presentation
Levi and Kittilä
Arctic resort, art lapon and river Usasjoki offer much more than just alpine skiing.
To understand what Levi and Kittilä are, you must look at Levi, Särestöniemi Museum and Lainio Snow Village. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, forests and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Levi
Levi is the largest Finnish ski resort, organised around a rounded fell; climbs, bike paths and trails remain active well beyond the snowy season.
Museum
Särestöniemi Museum
Reidar Särestöniemi's workshop house preserves its large coloured paintings of lapone nature in wooden buildings designed by Reima and Raili Pietilä.
Village
Snow village of Lainio
Every winter, the village of Lainio is rebuilt in snow and ice with rooms, sculptures and restaurant; its existence naturally depends on the cold and opening dates.
