Full Itinerary
Finnish Lapland is a true winter wonderland. A big layer of fluffy white snow covers the landscape and makes trees; lakes and plains sparkle in the sunlight. You will stay in Levi, Finland’s biggest ski resort, the perfect place to experience the powdery snow first-hand. You will go on a husky safari through the peaceful Finnish forest and also get experience this idyllic atmosphere from a snowmobile. You will also have plenty of time to get up close and personal with the snow on this powder fun tour.
Day 1: Levi
On arrival at Kittilä airport you will be transferred to Levi. Levi is a round-the-year activity resort and the biggest ski resort in Finland. The resort is located in the Fell Lapland, 170km above the Arctic Circle, in the middle of pure nature and large wilderness areas. Levi Fell village is actually a small holiday town, which offers a wide range of first-rate services to its guests.
Overnight: Levi
Day 2: Levi
After breakfast you will have the entire day at your leisure. Presumably you chose this tour because you wanted to get some skiing or snowboarding done and Levi is certainly the perfect place for that. In Levi you can find slopes available for downhill skiers and snowboarders, beginners or advanced skiers as well as children. Levi offers something for everyone, from wide family runs with lots of space to carve your tracks, to challenging steep slopes which whet the appetite of more accomplished and even expert skiers. There are 45 slopes altogether and for those who need coaching Levi has an international Ski School.
(No activities included today, all activities and equipment can only be paid for on the spot.)
Overnight: Levi (B)
Day 3: Levi
Today will be another day which is entirely at your leisure. You could simply relax at the resort or explore the surrounding wilderness. Or if you had your fill of skiing the slopes you could try set out on cross-country skis as Levi with its 230km of prepared cross-country tracks is also the perfect place for that. Whatever you decide to do you will have plenty of time to enjoy the silence and freedom of the winter wonderland around you. (No activities included today, all activities and equipment can only be paid for on the spot.)
Overnight: Levi (B)
Day 4: Levi
In contrast to the last two days today will be quite busy starting with a husky safari at around 10h00. You will receive some additional necessary winter clothing and then depart by bus to the husky camp. The eager dogs will give you an unforgettable taste of the Lappish wilderness surrounding Levi and after the safari is over you will be able to enjoy some hot berry juice whilst listening to stories about the huskies. Then you will be returned to Levi by bus and have some time to find lunch (not included). The day’s adventures are not over yet though as at 15h00 your snowmobile safari will begin. You will first receive instructions on how to correctly handle the snowmobile as well as the necessary safety precautions to observe before you depart. The format will be two persons per snowmobile with a changeover at a halfway point. This experience introduces you to the unforgettable Lappish nature in an entirely different way as you speed through snowy forests and over frozen lakes. Along the route you will be able to enjoy a peaceful break with some hot berry juice and after the excursion ends you will be returned to the hotel.
Overnight: Levi (B)
