Like a local in Levi
Live like a local and follow these tips for a memorable day and evening.
Morning: Wake up slowly at nature’s pace
Start your day calmly, there’s no need to rush. First, we’re going to make some coffee.
If you're staying in a cabin, open the window, sense the mood of the day and breathe in the fresh fell air. Listen to the birds singing and watch the dawn break over the fell. Weather permitting, enjoy breakfast on the terrace and admire the sunrise. If you're staying in a hotel, head to the hotel restaurant for your morning coffee and enjoy the surroundings. Remember, it's going to be another good day.
Before noon: Outdoor activitiesand the joy of exercise
What better way to start the day than downhill skiing or snowboarding? The slopes of Levi offer a challenge for beginners and experienced skiers alike. The rental service provides the equipment you need and the Ski School can give you lessons if you need them.
If you want a different type of exercise, head to the cross-country ski trails. Levi has a wide network of ski tracks that will take you to beautiful landscapes. You can also rent equipment and explore the local skiing opportunities. You might even stop by a cosy ski café.
Snowshoeing is another great way to experience nature in the wintertime. There are several marked snowshoeing and winter walking routes in Levi that will take you into the enchanting forest and the mighty fells.
Whether there is snow on the ground or not is not the point, but the idea is to head outside in the morning, even if it's just for a quick breath of fresh air. By sensing the unhurried pace of life and the captivating atmosphere of Lapland, you are also giving your holiday a chance
to work its magic in the background. Exerting your body in the right way will relax your mind.
Lunch: Tasty food in a fell atmosphere
At lunchtime, it's time to recharge your batteries. The restaurants in Levi offer a wide range of cuisine, from traditional dishes from Lapland to international delicacies. You can enjoy lunch in a restaurant or a café or eat your own snacks on the terrace of your cabin.
Remember to drink fluids as well. An active morning will leave you feeling empty if you don’t rehydrate your body.
Afternoon: Relaxation and experiences
Relax your muscles and your mind at the spa. The Levi Spa features a variety of saunas, jacuzzis and massages.
Levi offers a wide range of seasonal activities. In winter, you can try husky safaris, snowmobiling or ice fishing, for example. In summer, you can rent a bike, a SUP board or a canoe and explore Levi's lakes and rivers.
The centre of Levi and its shops and services are also worth a visit. You can be sure you will find something nice to take home with you.
Evening: An atmospheric evening out
In the evening, it’s time to enjoy good food and drink. The restaurants in Levi offer a wide variety of food and entertainment. You can choose a traditional Laplandic restaurant or try something more exotic.
If you want a more relaxed evening, head to a bar. Levi has several bars where you can enjoy a drink and listen to live music. Or you can be the karaoke star of the night yourself!
Sometimes it’s better to stay outdoors, as you can experience many unforgettable moments under the starlit sky. On a clear night, you can admire the stars twinkling like diamonds and try to spot the Northern Lights. There is little light pollution in Levi, so the sky often offers something more interesting to look at than the screen of your mobile phone.
Remember, these are just some examples of what you can do and experience in Levi. Let yourself be surprised and discover your own favourites on the fell!
