LEVI IGLOOS
The glass-roofed Levin Igloos offers their guests luxury next to the wilderness: a view of the rugged fell landscape and the northern sky, high-quality accommodation and personalised heartfelt service. The igloo hotel is located on the slope of a fell at a height of 340 metres, and the centre of Levi, one of the most popular holiday destinations in Lapland with diverse services complementing ours, is just 10 km away.
The distance from the lights of the centre and the unobstructed view of the northern sky from the slope makes it an ideal place for admiring the Northern Lights.
AURORA SKY RESTAURANT
Similarly to the igloos, the walls and ceiling of the second floor of the restaurant are entirely made of glass, offering an unobstructed view to the horizon. During daylight time, the magnificent fell landscape adds its own spice to the gourmet moment. The stylish downstairs floor, on the other hand, delights with the blaze of log-fire and an intimate atmosphere.
The flavours offered in Aurora Sky will not play second fiddle to the landscape. The menu, based on seasonal ingredients, pays homage to the clean northern nature and its varying seasons. In addition to welcome dinner, you will be enjoying your breakfast at the Aurora Sky restaurant.

As you step off the plane, you catch your first breath of the cold, clean air as you are welcomed by your personal host, who will look after you during your stay. You will get your winter clothing that will keep you warm and dry the coming days. You’ll emerge into the cold air, wearing our comfortable, Arctic-proofed gear, ready for adventure.

The winter is the best season to enjoy the frosty scenery of Levi, Finland’s biggest ski resort. Levi is winter sports paradise and has 43 ski slopes, something for every taste. Levi’s location north of the Arctic Circle, it offers snow cover for 7 months and excellent chances of seeing the Northern lights.
In Levi area, you will be breathing the purest air in the inhabited world. According to the measurements carried out by WHO, the purest air can be found on the Sammal fell, where the particle contact is less than 4μg/m3. So take a lot of deep breaths. You can also bottle some air if you wish!
YOUR EXPERIENCE
DAY 01 - SNOWSHOEING EXPERIENCE
After a welcome meal, your guide will take you out to introduce you to the region. We’ll get on the snowshoes and toboggans, that will be available for you to use for the entire duration of your stay.
Once we’re comfortable with our Arctic transport, your host will take you out in hunt of the Northern Lights, and show you the best places to spot the phenomenon.
During your stay your host will also keep an eye on the Northern Lights activity, and alert you at any time, should our skies be dancing.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
DAY 02 - SNOWMOBILE ADVENTURE
A snowmobile ride is a highlight of any Arctic adventure, and not to be missed. After a brief introduction to safety and the controls of the snowmobiles, it’s time to set off on our state-or-art snowmobiles for your tailor-made excursion into the wild. Through forests and over hills packed with snow, you’ll drive deep into the wilderness where not many have been. You’ll get the chance to let rip across a frozen lake and experience the speed, the freedom and the adrenaline rush that can only be had when these thrilling machines roar over the snow.
While a driving licence is needed to operate a snowmobile, those without licences get to enjoy being pulled along in a sleigh. Adults can also share a snowmobile with the driver as you ride through the beautiful snowy landscapes.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
DAY 02 - HUSKY DOG SLEDDING
After the delicious lunch prepared outdoors, your guide will take you out for dog sledding. At the husky kennel, you’ll meet the dogs, their excited barks filling the air. You are provided with all the necessary equipment, and taught how to drive a team of dogs. As you slide through the snow and into the wilderness, the barking of the dogs subsides, and all you can hear is the pounding of paws and the sound of the sledge on the snow. Standing on the runners, by placing your weight, the dogs turn, and you are entirely in the moment. The white and magical landscape slips by as the dogs pick up speed. Their joy at pulling the sleigh is contagious, and you see broad, happy smiles on everyone’s faces. Afterwards you will have time at the kennel to visit the dogs.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
DAY 03 - THE LIFE OF REINDEER
You wake up to another snow-white morning. After the breakfast, your guide meets you at your glass igloo suite, ready to take you out to see the local natives, the strong-minded reindeer.
Driving through the snowy landscape, surrounded by never ending wilderness, you arrive to the magical home of reindeer. Here’s the reindeer waiting for you to hop on the sleigh. Warmly wrapped and tucked in the sleigh, you start another journey in the forest. T he reindeer will pull you through the forest and introduce you to the life of a reindeer. You will arrive to a Lappish kota where the reindeer herder is waiting for you. While you enjoy a delicious lunch cooked by an open fire, you will hear fascinating stories about the life in Lapland that evolves around the reindeer.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
DAY 03 - GUIDED TOUR AT THE SNOWVILLAGE
Each year, around 20 million kilos of snow and 350 000 kilos of crystal clear natural ice are used to build the spectacular SnowVillage which changes in shape, size and design to amaze visitors year after year.
Covering an area of about 20 000 square metres, the SnowVillage consists of a Snow Hotel, with snow rooms and suites, Ice Restaurant, Ice Bar and Ice Chapel.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
DAY 04 - THE DEPARTURE
The sun rises on your final day in Lapland – but the fresh arctic air and the bountiful memories from your trip put a smile on your face.
