  • Scenic Snowshoe Hike to Levi’s Most Photographed Winter Spot

    Visit one of the most iconic locations in Finnish Lapland — Santa’s secret cabin on top of Levi Fell, made famous in the beloved Finnish Christmas movie Joulutarina (“Christmas Story”). This guided moderate-level snowshoeing tour combines Arctic scenery, soft adventure, and magical photo opportunities in one of the most Instagrammable places in Finland.

    Snowshoe Fitting in Levi & Gondola Ride to the Top.

    Your adventure begins in Levi village, where you'll meet your guide and be fitted with snowshoes based on your shoe size. Fitting is done at the meeting point to ensure proper sizing and comfort. Snowshoes are worn over your own sturdy winter boots.

    Once geared up, you’ll take a short transfer to the Gondola base station and ride the Gondola lift to the summit of Levi Fell.

    If the Gondola is closed due to the weather, we’ll drive up by car as high as possible, after which a short uphill walk of approx. 500 meters is required to reach the snowshoe starting point near the top.

    Hike to Santa’s Cabin – A Lapland Legend.

    Your snowshoe hike begins at the summit, passing through the most scenic and photographed areas of Levi. The highlight is the picturesque Santa’s Cabin, a small log hut nestled on the fells, blanketed in snow — it looks like a sugar-frosted fairytale house straight out of a Christmas story.

    This is one of the most Instagrammable locations in Finland. Take time to capture photos, enjoy the wide-open views, and feel the magic of Lapland from above.

    Downhill Forest Trail & Fireside Break.

    After the photo stop, your guide leads the group on a gentle downhill trail through a snowy forest, offering peaceful Arctic views and moments of serenity.

    Midway down, you’ll stop at a traditional Finnish kota (Lappish tepee) for a break by the open fire. Grill a Finnish sausage on a stick and sip on hot berry juice, a classic Lappish warm drink. Vegetarian options are available upon request.

    After the break, you'll continue snowshoeing to the lower parking area, where a car transfer will take you back to Levi village.

    What's included

    • Transfer from and back to Levi village
    • Outdoor guide
    • Gondola ride to the top of Levi Fell or car transfer to the upper access point (weather dependent)
    • Snowshoe fitting and use of snowshoes + poles (if necessary)

    Important remarks

    Important: This tour includes moderate uphill and downhill walking on uneven terrain. A normal level of physical fitness is required, and the activity is comparable to cycling 5–10 km.

    Not recommended for guests with knee problems, heart conditions, or mobility issues, due to the potential uphill climb (when gondola is unavailable) and the continuous downhill descent on snowshoes.

    *Please note: In case the wilderness hut (kota) on the slope is closed, the snack break will take place outdoors and includes a light snack with a hot drink.

    Recommendation

    We recommend wearing warm winter clothing. It can be rented separately before the departure from the Safarimarket office in Levi center at extra charge.
