Why Levi is Highly Rated for Tree Runs

This Finnish resort's approach to forest skiing illustrates its merit of the bronze award for Best Ski Resorts for Tree Runs - Europe 2025. The well-spaced trees create an enchanting environment that's both challenging and accessible, rated 4.11/5.00 by our Snomad community. Daren, an advanced skier and Snomad community member, describes "great powder and trees fully laden with snow to ski through which is pretty magical." The natural snow coverage on the trees transforms ordinary forests into otherworldly settings, particularly during Finland's distinctive light conditions. Mayt, an expert snowboarder who's returned for ten consecutive years, highlights the "great off-piste runs" that weave through these forests, offering a refreshing alternative to the more manicured piste experiences found elsewhere in Europe.

What truly makes Levi's tree runs stand out is how they blend natural terrain features with an uncrowded skiing experience. The resort's snow quality enhances the tree skiing experience, with Paige describing it as "BEAUTIFUL" and Melvin noting the "good snow due to the consistency of snowfall" that creates ideal conditions in the off-piste wooded sections. The natural obstacles and terrain variations provide enough challenge for advanced skiers while maintaining an approachable character that fits with Levi's overall friendly vibe, making these forest runs a genuine highlight of the resort.
