Levi is Finland’s most popular ski destination — a full-service resort with 43 slopes, 27 lifts and Arctic powder snow that lasts from November to April. But skiing in Levi isn’t just about the slopes. It’s about skiing during the polar night under the Northern Lights, or carving turns in spring sunshine with fell panoramas stretching to the horizon. It’s a completely different experience from the Alps.

⭐ Skiing Under the Northern Lights
One of Levi’s most unique offerings is skiing during the polar night — the period from late November to mid-January when the sun barely rises. Most slopes are flood-lit, and on clear nights the Northern Lights dance overhead while you ski. This is an experience impossible to replicate in the Alps and one of Levi’s greatest selling points for international visitors.
