More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A pale sun drops low over the fells as you step from the vehicle and feel the hush of Lapland—snow tightening underfoot, the air clean and sharp. The guide fits your snowshoes, and the trail ahead threads through stunted pines and wind-polished slopes toward a small wooden cabin perched on the ridge. From here, the valley opens into broad, white plains and the distant lights of Levi village.

Dress in breathable layers
Temperatures can swing with elevation and exertion—use a moisture-wicking base, insulating mid-layer, and a windproof outer shell.
Wear waterproof insulated boots
Deep snow and icy approaches make warm, waterproof footwear with good traction a must for comfort and safety.
Time for good light
Start mid-morning for softer light and safer trail conditions; afternoon wind can increase chill on the ridge.
Respect cabin rules
You may photograph the cabin and surroundings, but entry is prohibited—stay on marked routes and follow your guide.
Snowshoes (provided but bring if you own)
Snowshoes distribute weight and prevent post-holing in deep snow; guides provide and fit them for the route.
