Levi (Lapland, Finland)

You have to make the most of the snow when you’re on an Arctic adventure. This includes having a go at igloo building with a little help from the experts.

You must also seize the opportunity to visit a beautiful snow hotel where you can see the architectural wonders of carved and sculpted snow.

Scandinavian Travel Group invites you on a range of different snow building tours if you plan to spend time in Levi. These bestselling excursions will give you an idea of what to expect when you touchdown in Lapland.

How to build a snow igloo

This tour requires you to pick up a shovel and get creative with snow. There is an experienced guide on hand to show you how to master the tools and techniques needed for building an igloo out of snow. You’ll learn how to build a secure and insulated structure that offers warmth and shelter in the Arctic wilderness.

This experience gives you a real sense of how the Inuit men and women built snow shelters centuries ago when they needed a place of shelter when hunting in freezing Arctic temperatures. Once you have completed your snow igloo it will become part of our Snow Igloo park in Levi where many visitors come to see these ice and snow constructions.

Visit a snow hotel and other popular snow activities

Your time in Levi has to include as many snow activities as possible. Check out the following:

• 1. Book a tour to the Lainio Snow Village in Finnish Lapland. It is about 40 minutes from Levi. This program invites you into the snow-covered forest where the spectacular Snow Village can be found. Talented artists and sculptors agree on a different theme each year. Visitors have been wowed by a Game of Thrones theme and “Macro World” where large-scale ice structures took centre stage in the Snow Village.
• 2. Lainio Snow Village also has an ice restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious 3-course meal in an ice-constructed dining room. Don’t forget to wear thermal clothing. Temperatures dip below freezing inside the restaurant.
• 3. Book a snowmobile safari to the Lainio Snow Village. Snowmobiles are a reliable mode of transport when you need to navigate your way through deep snow. Enjoy the thrill of a snowmobile ride to the Snow Village where you can enjoy hot or cold refreshments after an exhilarating trip to Lainio.

These highlights are some examples of the tours organised by the Scandinavian Travel Group. Visiting Lanio Snow Village and learning how to build a snow igloo are popular activities with tourists who seek out authentic experiences.

If you have time in your schedule we can also arrange for you to visit the Icehotel in Swedish Lapland. It has permanent ice and snow suites if you fancy spending the night in incredible accommodation carved out of ice.
