Winter (December to April)

Ski season with near-guaranteed snow, floodlit slopes during the short days and auroras on clear nights. December and the February–March school holidays are the busiest.

Spring (April and May)

Long days, still-good snow and sunshine: many consider it the best time to ski. It is too light for auroras by then.

Autumn (September and October)

Autumn colours (ruska) and the first auroras, with low prices and no guaranteed snow.

Getting there

Kittilä airport is about 15 km from Levi, with flights from Helsinki and, in winter, seasonal direct flights from other European cities. Check the current schedule.
From Rovaniemi it is about 2 h 30 min by car or bus.
In the village you can walk to the slopes; for tours and other villages a car or bus helps.
