Finland’s biggest ski resort by lift ticket sales, with 25,000 beds, ski-in/out apartments and a real village high street.
44 slopes drop off Levitunturi to the village at its foot, and two gondolas carry you to the 531-metre summit. The alpine World Cup opens here every November, with the season’s first slalom raced on the front slope on 14 and 15 November 2026.
Around 230 kilometres of maintained tracks run from the village into the fells, with 28 kilometres lit through the dark months. Pick a trail café as your turning point, ski out for coffee and glide back before dusk.
Lifts, restaurants, shops and the après-ski all sit within a few streets of each other. When the lifts close the crowd moves to Hullu Poro, the resort’s long-running restaurant and live-music venue.
Lifts, restaurants and shops sit within a few streets of each other, so a room in the village means the car can stay parked all week. It is also the liveliest place to sleep on a Saturday in high season, which cuts both ways.
Ski-in ski-out is worth checking rather than assuming. Levitunturi has slopes on more than one side, and a chalet that reaches a lift does not always reach the lift you had in mind. Ask which one, and what the way back looks like at the end of the day.
Cabins further out trade walking distance for dark sky and quiet. You will need a car, and in a snowfall the last few kilometres are the slow ones, but the aurora does not have to compete with street lighting.
