Levi is often considered one of the top destinations in Finnish Lapland—and sometimes the outright best—due to its accessibility, variety of activities, and vibrant resort atmosphere. It’s Finland’s largest and most popular ski resort, attracting over a million visitors annually, and excels in winter sports.
Levi is a renowned year-round resort and ski destination located in Finnish Lapland and sits approximately 170 km north of the Arctic Circle and about 180 km north of Rovaniemi, Finland’s “official” gateway to Lapland.
The town is excellent for aurora borealis, with an average of 111 clear nights per year and low light pollution in its surrounding wilderness.
Surrounded by vast Arctic wilderness, frozen rivers and dense forests, this positions places Levi in one of Europe’s northernmost inhabited, yet accessible regions in northern Finland.

This includes a professional photographer who will assist you in taking the best possible photos of the Aurora. So, whether you’re a novice or a photography enthusiast, you’re in good hands.
