8 seasons of Levi
Fall in love with Levi all year round!
The first snow has fallen when at least one centimetre of snow is measured on the ground at 8 a.m. at a weather station. Typically, the first snow falls in Levi in the second or third week of October.
Experience: Downhill skiing. Hit the slopes again. It’s time to have fun!
Polar night occurs north of the Arctic Circle when the sun does not rise above the horizon. In Levi, polar night normally starts in December and ends in early January. The days grow longer after the winter solstice.
Experience: Headlamp. Hunt the aurora under a starry sky. Beauty looks different in the dark.
Midwinter is the time of biting frost and deep snowdrifts, especially in January and February. In Levi, the Arctic wind makes the bitter-cold temperatures of up to minus 30 degrees feel even colder.
Experience: Hot drink in a kuksa cup. After breathing the cold air, hot blackcurrant
Spring crust occurs when snow, warmed by the sun or moistened by rain, hardens in freezing temperatures. In Levi, you can enjoy spring crust especially in March and April due to the large daily temperature variations.
Experience: Sliding snowshoes. The snow carries you. The entire fell is your playground.
Ice breakup occurs with a bang as the spring sun softens and eventually breaks up the ice in the waters. In the North, the breakup of ice and the rapid melting of snow is often followed by big early summer floods.
Experience: Canoeing. In the North, you have time to find your own internal rhythm.
Nightless night, the opposite of polar night, is the period north of the Arctic Circle when the sun does not set. In Levi, the nightless night begins in late May and lasts for about 50 days.
Experience: Trail running. Over the rocks and stumps. Run into nature’s embrace.
Harvesting is the period of gathering nature’s bounty in late summer. In Levi, the right time varies depending on the year and the species – cloudberries are best picked in late July.
Experience: Self-picked is best. In Levi, you can pick fresh Lapland berries onto your plate with your own hands.
Autum foliagecolours the landscape in Levi as the temperature drops and the amount of light decreases. The day continues longer than night until the autumn equinox. Autumn has officially begun.
Experience: Hiking, outdoor activities and campfires. Peace of mind step by step.
