Levi Ski Resort Guide
Levi is just 15 km north of Kittila which has charter flights from the UK making it an easy alternative to the Alps. The mountains are not very high here, but Levi has a northern location that almost guarantees snow right down to the bottom of the mountain. The trade off for this is the cold and the dark. Some will love this at Levi, some won't but it is different! Don't despair, the sun does give off some light from mid-January that allows you to ski without floodlights from 10 am until 2 pm but most of the slopes are illuminated anyway. The Scanners are great boarders and have pumped a lot of cash into the development of new talent. Their terrain parks are some of the best in Europe and put many of the big Alpine resorts to shame! While up at Levi why not try some x-country skiing, or perhaps a reindeer sleigh ride! Off the slopes the town is purpose built but full of rustic charm. Prices are pretty high for most goods.

Visitor Reviews of Levi
Rebecca from United Kingdom writes:
We have been coming to Levi for the past 12 years, we have seen some changes within the resort and the addition of the centre. I would highly recommend this as a family location with a nice mixture of piste and natural snow runs. Drag lifts are the norm but there are plans to expand the number of chair lifts available. The atmosphere is fantastic and the locals extremely friendly. We have a mixed ability party with advanced boarders down to complete beginners and a disabled member of the group. So far we have not run out of runs or activities that suite the whole party. The reindeer races, dog sledding and Icelandic pony races make a fantastic and traditional day out where you are treated as a member of the community and encouraged to join in with the other activities on offer. I cannot speak highly enough of Levi and the community it is definitely our 'must come' location.
