A pale Arctic light spreads across the slopes of Levitunturi as the minivan winds up the road. Snow-packed pines lean into the trail like friendly guides and the summit opens to a wide white horizon; the guide fits snowshoes and points toward the ridge where Santa’s Cabin sits, a small wooden shelter framed by frosted spruces.

Layer for changing conditions
Temperatures and wind change quickly on the fell—wear moisture-wicking base layers, an insulating midlayer, and a windproof shell.
Choose waterproof insulated boots
Deep snow and slush around the farm make waterproof, insulated boots critical for warmth and traction in snowshoes.
Protect your eyes and batteries
Low winter sun and reflected glare make sunglasses necessary; cold drains batteries fast—keep camera and phone warm inside a jacket.
