Ice Karting, Levi — Two Sessions on Ice, 5 Minutes from Levi Centre

Why this stands out

• The track is 5 minutes from Levi centre by shuttle — no long transfer
• Studded tyres and quiet four-stroke engines: fast enough to be exciting, controlled enough to be safe for beginners
• Two sessions with a break means time to find your feel for the track and improve — not just one lap and done
• Full racing gear provided on site — helmet, balaclava, shoes, gloves, overalls — nothing to bring
• No driving licence required, minimum height 145 cm
• Inspired by Finland’s legendary rally culture: a genuinely Finnish way to spend an hour

The program

The shuttle departs from Hissitie 11, in front of Kotipizza Levi (across from Zero Point). On arrival at the track, the group gathers in the drivers’ pit zone for a safety briefing and driving tips. Then into the racing gear: helmet, balaclava, shoes, gloves and overalls are all provided.

The program includes two driving sessions of approximately 15 minutes each. In between, the group warms up outdoors by an open fire with hot berry juice. The break is a natural opportunity to talk lap times and get ready for the second session.

On the circuit: studded tyres give grip but allow controlled slides. The quiet four-stroke engines respond clearly to throttle input, which makes it straightforward to learn the basics of driving on ice. The track and karts are the same for all experience levels — beginners and more experienced drivers use the same equipment.

Inspired by Finnish rally culture

Finland has produced more World Rally Championship drivers per capita than any other country. Ice karting at Levi is the easiest and most accessible way to understand why: the way a car behaves on ice — the slide, the correction, the throttle balance — is something you feel in the seat, not something you can watch from a distance. No licence, no previous experience, just 145 cm and a willingness to try.

Optional add-ons

Available on the day at the track: soup lunch in the warm café (soup, bread and butter, coffee or tea); snowtubing on two illuminated slides of different lengths (2-hour ticket from departure time). Spectators can join the transport subject to available capacity and a supplement charge.

STG reserves the right to adjust the program if a participant is considered a danger to themselves or others or fails to follow safety instructions.
