The Skiers' Guide to Levi

Amazing kid friendly Lapland and husky experiences were great
Hotel and Spa and hotel food was excellent

Levi is a great resort with wide open runs and decent apres. You’re in Scandinavia so food and drink is expensive although as it’s -20 at times there’s not many family’s on runs so you pretty much get the pistes to yourselves

My love of skiing started on a family trip to Levi, Finland — endless white landscapes, crisp Arctic air, and days spent learning to ski together. One unforgettable highlight was a cheeky snowmobile ride through the forests to visit Santa himself. That holiday sparked a lifelong passion for the mountains and the joy of skiing.

Levi was clean and crisp. Expertly run and the cleanest snow. More runs than expected and the town is vibrant with more than you need for a comfortable and fun trip. Will be back.

Great place for a beginner like myself, 50ish and never tried before.
The instructor was great and very patient and I could ski on my own after an hour.

Loved the place

We had the best time as a family of 4 and everyone was so friendly. We will definitely be returning

Have skied in Levi 3 times, love it as you are absolutely guaranteed snow, unlike in the alps. The cost of lift passes and equipment hire is much cheaper than the big resorts, and there are zero lift queues and the slopes are quiet.

Watch what time of year you go, as earlier in the season not all slopes are open

We had an extended family Holiday last New Years to Levi. Its the 2nd time we have visited the resort. Its a great resort for all levels lots of blues and reds for beginners and intermediates. Our group had a wide range of abilities and everyone had a great time. The food on the piste can vary but we found a great buffet at the panoramic restaurant Tuikku this was a great price. The ski hire was reasonable and lift passes were around the same price as other resorts. Alcohol is more expensive but that is to be expected in Scandinavian. There are also lots of Activities for non skiers. Its a great place for the whole family.

Me my wife and our 9 year old son took skiing lessons at south point for our 1 time ever.
We had a great day throughly enjoying the beginners slopes, so much so, we are now planning a skiing trip in the coming months.

Great resort for families and beginner skiers. Levi is on a fell, rather than a mountain. There are lots of routes, but they are mostly blue. This makes is perfect for cruising around for intermediate skiers, possibly a bit boring for advanced skiers. However, there a couple of red runs and there is a huge black run.

We arrived the first week of the season. We dropped off partners at ski school and the advanced skiers tried to ski across multiple routes. However, many of the lifts were not operational and some of the routes weren't open. We only skied for three days and for two of those days the chair lift at South Point didn't work.

Our beginner skiers enjoyed their ski lessons, but doing more than 1.5 hours was very expensive.

Finland is truly beautiful, making it a gorgeous place to ski. There's not much sunlight, but skiing and sunrise and sunset on a clear day is very special.

Anyone considering Levi will have to take the cost of food and drink, ski passes, ski hire and also transport into consideration. We hired a car and I'm glad we did. There was a shuttle bus to take you to different slopes, but it seemed very busy and cramped! All the slopes are a short car ride from each other, with free parking and plenty of available spaces.

Levi as a town is so cute and Christmassy, really just the epitome of a festive ski town.

In summary; this is the perfect ski resort for families or beginners who love a Christmas vibe....and have a lot of Euros to spend!

Levi is an amazing ski resort for a mixed group. Particularly when skiing as a family.
There are a range of different level slopes. The slopes tend to be a fair bit quieter than the Alps, although not nearly as high.

With an Olympic level black run you can challenge yourself in the morning whilst still enjoying the other activities Levi has on offer in the afternoons and evenings.
For people who are new to skiing - Levi is a great choice of location as it is a lot quieter than the alps. The lessons are fantastic and with the well lit slopes you can ski into the late hours of the evening.
Don't miss the Northern lights and Husky sledging whilst there.

Would thoroughly recommend.

Great groomed pistes, nice and quiet, very friendly locals, great food, excellent snow conditions, lift infrastructure is perfect.

Skiing: - Incredible ski area, long runs and no ice. Lifts are quiet - most I've ever waited is 2 minutes. Snow Park good for all levels. Haven't been off piste however I've heard it's good and since it's more of a rolling hill it's not too dangerous either. Other Activities: -Wide range of activities, cross country skiing, sledding, skidoos, and so much more. Can be expensive but I've never felt disappointed with any activity. Cost:-Quite expensive however it's brilliant, I've been a few times now and I will be going again.

Skiing lovely, no big queues. Heated chair lift. So many other things to do. Reindeer sleigh rides on frozen lake. Husky rides. Frozen hotel with beautiful sculptures.

Having been to quite a few ski resorts in Tirol, last year I decided to do Levi in Finland. It was an amazing experience. Friendly people, fantastic scenery, and brilliant ski days. The whole resort is very well maintained, but the runs are really short compared to the ones in Tirol. A not very positive experience was that most of the lifts were the tow ones. Going up for about 20 minutes in that position made me have terrible pains in my knees, which resulted in shorter ski days and a one-day shorter ski holiday.So, I believe I still prefer the resorts in Tirol and everything the region has to offer.

Small resort but it makes up for it with the quiet slopes. The parks are good with an easy lift straight back to the top for consistent ride. Nice, easy and well price burger bar at the south point. Only two black slopes, with one being more of a step ended red. Multiple off-piste areas with good snow due to the consistency of snowfall.

Great resort for families who want laid back skiing. No queues for lifts, plenty of nice blue/red runs, good ski school for group or private lessons. Better in the Spring when all runs are open and it's a little warmer. Most accomodation is an easy walk to lifts and you can easily store kit at bottom of the slopes. But lovely to combine a little skiing with other Winter activities like reindeer sleigh rides, dog sledding, snowshoeing, visits to Father Christmas etc if you want to visit during the Winter. Some of Levi fell is floodlight for skiing at this time. Can be very cold but beautiful experience. If you want a new run every time you set foot on the snow or many challenging black pistes, it's not for you, but perfect for beginners-intermediates and families.

Superb skiing and restaurants . Ideal for the family and different ski slopes for different experiences

I learnt to ski in Levi and went back for a second week the following year. It's an awesome place to learn in spite of the extreme cold. It's quiet so queuing for a lift is unheard of. The slopes are generally not the longest but the snow is great - really dry and no ice (unless it gets blasted by the wind). There are little huts dotted about the slopes with fires in to get warmed up and cook your bratwursts which are replenished with logs daily. The jumps for the boarders look extreme but there might not be enough black runs for the advanced skiers to stay interested too long. For beginners and intermediates I would highly recommend this resort but wrap up warm!

Levi is a fantastic place to snowboard and ski! There are some nice restaurants to dine at and the slopes are great. It gets very cold during December so make sure you wear thermals and layer up
