A pale sun drops low over the fells as you step from the vehicle and feel the hush of Lapland—snow tightening underfoot, the air clean and sharp. The guide fits your snowshoes, and the trail ahead threads through stunted pines and wind-polished slopes toward a small wooden cabin perched on the ridge. From here, the valley opens into broad, white plains and the distant lights of Levi village.

A pale sun drops low over the fells as you step from the vehicle and feel the hush of Lapland—snow tightening underfoot, the air clean and sharp. The guide fits your snowshoes, and the trail ahead threads through stunted pines and wind-polished slopes toward a small wooden cabin perched on the ridge. From here, the valley opens into broad, white plains and the distant lights of Levi village.
This walk follows routes around Levi Ski Resort on the high fell of Kittilä, an area carved by glaciers and now shaped by freeze-thaw cycles that give the slopes their rounded profiles. The cabin is a seasonal attraction inspired by Finland’s long winter traditions; while interior access isn’t allowed, the structure and its views reflect local storytelling—Santa as a character born of Arctic winters and community winter markets.
Guides are local Finns who know the terrain and will photograph your group as you move. Choose between a short 900 m snowshoe loop if you ride the gondola both ways, about 2 km on foot with a one-way gondola, or roughly 2.4 km of snowshoeing if driven to the felltop. The outing runs about 2–3 hours and includes a hot beverage to warm hands and breath.
Practical notes: dress in moisture-wicking layers and waterproof boots, bring sun protection for bright snow, and plan for cold, windy conditions at the ridge. The walk is private and suitable for those with moderate fitness; it’s not recommended for people with serious back, heart, or pregnancy-related restrictions. Expect steady pacing, photo stops, and the chance to pause where the wind seems to push the view into focus.
No—the tour stops at the cabin for photos and views but interior access is not permitted.
Yes, snowshoes are included and guides will fit them; guests may bring personal snowshoes if preferred.
Children can join but infants must sit on an adult's lap during transit; assess fitness and cold tolerance for younger kids.
