Ski Resorts and Snowboarding Areas
Levi
Levi is the first ski center in Finland to have actually built a real village in a ski center. Levi offers diverse and high quality services all in the same area: accommodation, restaurants, shops, and auxiliary services. Levi’s restaurant services are outstanding among those offered at Finnish ski resorts and the center’s after-ski activities are in a class of their own. The center has been incredibly resourceful in the use of the possibilities available to it. The great diversity of ski slopes at Levi meets the requirements of skiers of nearly all levels. Children and families are given special consideration. Great attention has also been given to alternative and special snow sports; just look at the pace the terrain parks for skiers and snowboarders have been developed.
These are some of the reasons on which the council based their selection of Levi as Finland’s Ski Center ofthe Year for the fourth time. Credit was also given to the first Alpine Skiing World Cup race in Finland organized at Levi, and how Levi is attracting more and more visitors from abroad. However, there are many more new features and enhancements to come, which will make our ski area even better and more diverse.
For the 2004/2005 season, we are focusing more on the start and end of the season. The ‘first snow’ track will be awaiting cross-country skiers as early as October and ski pass prices will be especially low until the end of November and again at the end of spring. A wider variety than ever of attractive accommodation options will be available throughout the season.
Hotel Levitunturi has expanded its restaurant dining area. The new Restaurant World has five restaurants with combined seating for 1,500 persons. There are dozens of new accommodation alternatives in and around Levi and Levin Matkailu Oyis now operating in new premises. The golf course currently under construction at Levi is a result of the emphasis being placed on the summer and other ‘snow-free’season. The first nine holes are to be opened for play by the end of summer 2005 and fairways 10 -18 are scheduled to be completed two years after the opening of the course.
As a result of the brilliantly successful organization of the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup event in February 2004,the white circus has informed us that they will be returning to our arctic fell town again for the World Cup in November 2006. Prior to that, however, Levi will be hosting the European Cup in men’s giant slalom at the beginning of December in 2004. In March of 2005, Levi will also be organizing the Ski Orienteering World Championships and the World Airline Ski Championship competitions.
The Levi crew bids welcome to visitors old and new to experience world class events and adventures at Levi!
Trails and Routes
General:
Levi’s broad fell area has slopes for everyone from easy ones for beginners and medium-difficult ones for the more experienced. If you really want to put your skills to the test you can try the black World Cup slope, which has a 52% steep final stretch that almost makes you fly.
Tracks
27 km of skiing tracks are open (free and classic techniques): First-snow track, Valorakka, Isoporo and Pikkuporo.
- Open lifts 2 / 26
- Open slopes 1 / 47
- Illuminated tracks 22,6 / 28 km
- All tracks 27 / 230 km
- Snow mobile routes - / 750 km
Levi's snowmobile routes are the most extensive in Finland. Along the 750 kilometers of maintained and marked snowmobiling routes, you will find trails for beginners and for more serious enthusiasts alike.
Bring the route map along!
In the thrill of fast-paced snowmobiling, you also need to take some breaks. Trail routes, service and refueling locations, as well as safari agency locations, can be found on the snowmobiling map. It is available on the Levi website or you can purchase it at Levi Info. Even kids can try their hand at snowmobiling in their own supervised area.
Unforgettable safari adventures
A guided snowmobile safari is an experience that will touch your mind and body. Led by a professional safari guide, even the inexperienced will quickly learn how to handle a snowmobile. For those with more experience, there are challenging snowmobiling routes, even extending beyond the national border to Sweden and Norway.
Have a safe journey!
As fundamental rules of safe snowmobiling, it is necessary to remember that a driving license is required to drive a snowmobile. The maximum speed permitted on waterway routes is 80 km/h, 60 km/h on land routes and in Levi's populated area, 30 km/h. The maximum speed limit is 30 km/h in certain village centers and in dangerous areas. Speed limits are marked on traffic signs. The promille content limits are in accordance with the road traffic act. The travel route and, above all, the speed, should be suited to the skill of the driver.
Don't forget to buy a snowmobile toll sticker!
Snowmobile stickers for the full 2004-05 season are available to private snowmobilers at 50 € each. Stickers valid for one week cost 20 €. All of the proceeds from Levi's snowmobile sticker sales are used to maintain the trails. Trail stickers and routemaps covering the entire municipality are available at snowmobile rental locations and at Levi Info.
