We came to Levi for snow, reindeer, huskies, snow-mobiles, northern lights, ski and sauna. I decided to book this activity as something a bit different. We had a very mixed group, including several who thought they wouldn’t enjoy a laser shooting game. However, EVERYBODY left wanting more. Our host, Viivi, has to be about the most enthusiastic person I have ever met. The venue and equipment were first class and put paintball and laser sites in the UK to shame!

We waited until arriving at Levi before booking any tours. We were on a ski trip and wanted to pick a day with good weather. We walked down to the tourist office and looked through the extensive collection of activities. My partner wanted to do a husky ride and I fancied a reindeer ride. We ended up finding one through the tourist office that included both. Just short rides but gave us a taste which was great. Lady was very helpful and spoke excellent English. The tour left from the tourist office and we were able to pop in and use their facilities first (toilet) which was helpful.

Go there to get info about the area. They can guide you if you want to explore ( own car) - Snow Vilage, Husky farm, Reindeer farm etc.or go show shoeing or cross country skiing on your own . The map they give is of course a must. The tour companies take you but usually each tour is upwards of $ 100! Nice building & with a nice cafe to warm you up
