Finland is a fascinating and beautiful European country bordered by Sweden, Norway and Russia. Any Finnish travel experience will be largely determined by the seasons. Winter is a time of perpetual darkness, magnificent frozen lakes and the glorious Northern Lights. In summer vast green natural landscapes are bathed in the light of the midnight sun. Enormous spreads of virtually untouched natural wilderness provide a playground for trekkers, mountain-bikers, skiers and fishermen. Reindeer roam free when they aren’t pulling sledges or being served up on the dinner table. This natural wonderland lies on the doorstep of phenomenally innovative modern cities offering cosmopolitan living, while the surrounding smaller towns are home to quaint wooden churches, historic castles and quirky museums brimming with cultural artefacts.
Located in Finnish Lapland, the resort town of Levi is situated in the Kittila municipality 180 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. It is famed for its excellent skiing opportunities and its magical views of the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. Levi serves as a great base from which to explore the surrounding frozen lakes and scenic river valleys. Visitors can look forward to an array of activities including reindeer sleigh rides, snowmobile safaris, dog-sled tours, and Arctic diving. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy Levi’s famous nightlife, too. Other highlights include: the Samiland Exhibition, the 19th-century wooden Church of Kittila, and the beautiful Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park.
