Levi Reviews
Lapland is just a magical place - there are so many amazing things to see and do there beyond skiing/snowboarding. We did snowboard everyday, but we were also able to see the Northern Lights, mush huskies, drive snowmobiles, and rode Icelandic horses... All in one week! It was just fantastic and we can't recommend it enough. Were there any negatives? Well, if you're a snowboarder and if you don't like button lifts then yes... Most of the lifts are either button or T. But that's pretty much the only downside we can think of. It's also not busy at all so often times you're all by yourself on the slopes! Also: great food! Absolutely recommended.
Apres Ski: 5/5

I visited Levi on a 3 night Santa break in early December. It was the best pre-Christmas trip that we could have chosen! I didn't ski but we did all the amazing excursions that you can do in Lapland, including husky sledding, visiting the Elves Village & Santa's Workshop, snowmobiling, and even Laser Tag in the forest. There's so much you can do in Levi, so it is great if you have non-skiers in your group as well. Most accommodations are near the town centre and the slopes. There are plenty of cute gift shops, supermarkets, fast food places, restaurants & bars to keep you busy all week. Whether you are skiing or on a Lapland Santa Break, you will be amazed!
