Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign and takes you directly to your hotel, apartment or cabin in Levi, with skis and winter luggage in the same vehicle.
The drive from Rovaniemi to Levi
The route heads northwest from Rovaniemi on main road 79 towards Kittilä, through long stretches of pine and spruce forest, frozen bogs and small villages. There are few junctions and little traffic, but the road is usually snow-covered from November to April.
The vehicles run on winter tyres, and drivers keep a steady pace. Reindeer often walk on this road, especially at dusk and in the dark, so expect occasional slowdowns. Levi itself lies a short way north of Kittilä town.
About Levi
Levi is Finland’s largest ski resort and also hosts an alpine World Cup slalom race in November. The village centre is compact, with hotels, restaurants and the main lifts within walking distance, while many apartments and log cabins are spread around the slopes of the fell.
Guests are a mix of downhill skiers, families, groups and visitors coming for husky rides, snowmobile safaris and the northern lights.
Skis, groups and cabins
- Ski equipment
- Declare skis and snowboard bags when booking. Together with winter clothing they need more space than you might expect.
- Groups of friends
- For 4–7 people a minivan keeps the group and luggage together for the whole drive.
- Cabin addresses
- Cabins around the fell can be hard to spot in the dark. Send the exact address and any access instructions in advance.
Going back to Rovaniemi Airport
Plan the pickup about 5 hours before your flight. That covers the drive of up to around 2 hours 45 minutes, a margin for snowfall and time for check-in. On Saturdays in the high season many guests leave Levi at the same time, so do not cut it short.
