Informations

Lapland is a magical region of northern Europe, stretching across several countries – Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia – beyond the Arctic Circle.
This ancestral land, swept by northern winds, is the realm of wilderness, the Northern Lights, and the indigenous Sámi people.

In winter, Lapland transforms into a fairytale landscape, blanketed by a thick layer of snow.
Pine and spruce forests stand frozen under frost, lakes turn to ice, and the long polar nights are illuminated by the dancing auroras.
Silence reigns supreme, broken only by the crunch of footsteps in the snow or the quiet passage of a reindeer.

In summer, by contrast, the light never fades.
The Midnight Sun floods the landscapes of gentle hills, blooming tundra, and crystal-clear rivers.
It is the season of animal migrations, berry picking, and the traditional reindeer transhumance.

Sámi culture is ever-present, through colorful clothing, language, traditional songs (joiks), and reindeer herding.
Sámi villages preserve a way of life closely tied to nature, where respect for cycles and natural elements is fundamental.

Lapland attracts travelers in search of pure nature and extraordinary experiences.
Visitors can enjoy dog sledding, snowshoe hiking, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, or snowmobile expeditions across the tundra.
Glass igloos even allow guests to admire the Northern Lights while lying comfortably beneath the stars.

Rovaniemi, in Finland, is the unofficial capital of Lapland and the hometown of Santa Claus.
Every winter it welcomes thousands of children and families who come to meet the beloved figure and discover the enchanting atmosphere of the Far North.

Between Arctic light, ancestral traditions, pristine landscapes, and profound silence, Lapland offers a journey beyond time – at the frontier between reality and dream.

Lévi Ski

Levi is one of Finland’s largest and most renowned ski resorts, nestled in the heart of Lapland, within the municipality of Kittilä. Surrounded by vast snowy forests and pristine hills, it offers a magical Arctic setting and an exceptional playground for lovers of snow and the outdoors.

Easily accessible thanks to Kittilä Airport located just a few kilometers away, Levi attracts visitors from all over Europe each year, drawn by the quality of its facilities, the welcoming atmosphere of its village, and the wealth of winter activities on offer.

The Levi ski area stretches across several slopes, with more than 40 runs of all levels, perfectly maintained and often illuminated for night skiing. The summit of Levi offers a splendid panoramic view over the Lapland taiga, while the trails wind through unspoiled nature.

Beyond alpine skiing, Levi offers countless alternatives: cross-country skiing on hundreds of kilometers of groomed tracks, snowshoeing, dog sledding or reindeer sleigh rides, snowmobile excursions, and even ice skating.

The village of Levi is both modern and cozy. Visitors will find comfortable hotels, traditional chalets, spas, cozy restaurants, lively bars, sports shops, and events throughout the season. The atmosphere remains peaceful and family-friendly, far from the bustle of large Alpine resorts.

The polar night, which envelops Levi in winter, creates a magical atmosphere. It is also one of the best places to observe the Northern Lights, which frequently dance across the starry sky. Special excursions are organized to admire this unique spectacle.

In summer, Levi reveals another face yet remains active. The Midnight Sun illuminates hiking trails, mountain biking routes, golf courses, and lakes where visitors can fish, paddle, or simply relax in the heart of the boreal wilderness.

Levi embodies the art of living in the Arctic, where silence, snow, and light combine to create an unforgettable experience. It is a dream destination for those seeking the perfect balance between sport, nature, and polar escape.

Kittilä

Presentation

Kittilä is a peaceful municipality in northern Finland, at the very heart of Lapland, in a region dominated by boreal forests, gentle hills, and vast snowy expanses. This authentic Arctic land, bathed in silence and light, embodies the very essence of Finnish Lapland.

The locality is crossed by the Ounasjoki River, which meanders slowly between pine forests and frozen ponds, offering a natural setting of great serenity. In winter, a thick snow cover blankets the landscapes for long months, transforming the surroundings into a true white paradise.

Kittilä is best known for hosting the Western Lapland Airport, making it a privileged gateway for visitors wishing to explore ski resorts such as Levi, located only a few kilometers away. Thanks to this proximity, Kittilä is a discreet yet strategic hub of Arctic tourism.

The municipality has a rural charm with its colorful wooden houses, small churches, isolated farms, and welcoming inhabitants. Local handicrafts, traditional markets, and Lappish culture are still very much alive, particularly through seasonal festivals and events.

Life in Kittilä follows the rhythm of extreme seasons: the polar winter, with its nearly permanent night, creates magical atmospheres ideal for observing the Northern Lights, which are very frequent in the region. Summer, on the other hand, bathes the land in the Midnight Sun, bringing unique vitality to both nature and its people.

Around Kittilä, many outdoor activities await travelers: snowmobile safaris, dog sledding and reindeer sleigh rides, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, hiking, and of course the traditional experience of Finnish saunas followed by a plunge into the snow.

The region also preserves a strong connection with Sámi culture, the indigenous people of northern Scandinavia. In Kittilä and its surroundings, visitors can discover their traditions, language, colorful clothing, handicrafts, and ancestral relationship with nature.

Kittilä is an ideal destination for travelers in search of authenticity, unspoiled nature, and simple yet powerful emotions. Here, time seems suspended, light plays with snow, and nature dictates its rhythm – between polar calm and wild splendor.
