Discover Sirkka: ski slopes, bike park and winter trails

For active days in Sirkka, Levi’s offerings provide several distinct options: skiing, a bike park, winter walking, winter cycling and watching the Northern Lights. If you’re looking for accommodation, you can start by weighing up which of these activities will shape your trip. The details vary: the Front Slopes are red main slopes in the village centre, the Bike Park offers routes of varying difficulty, and the winter trails have both an approximate total length and specific start and end points.

Levi: skiing and getting around the village

The Front Slopes are Levi’s main ski slopes and also the centre of the village. They are graded red and offer a certain challenge for beginners. This combination of a central village location and a red grading is a specific point of reference when planning the ski activities for your trip. Levi Ski Resort also offers a ski school. The slope grading and the separate lesson offering therefore provide distinct points of reference.

The R1 ski bus route is also useful for getting around. It runs from Zero Point via the northeast slopes and Hossa to Sirkka School, then continues along Muoniontie and Myllyjoentie. The route names several specific landmarks in the village and along its onward journey. The timetable may vary seasonally, so check it for your travel dates.

Bike park, walking and winter cycling

At Levi Bike Park, the routes range from an easy green route to a difficult black one. This range of grades offers a specific point of comparison if cycling is part of your travel plans. Guided bike park tours and lessons with official FMBIA bike park instructors are also available. The offering can therefore be assessed both by the route grades and by the stated tour and lesson options.

Levi’s winter walking trails are about 20 km long in total and are groomed by snowmobiles. The approximate total length gives an indication of the size of the trail network. For winter cycling routes, specific directions and a starting point are given instead: the routes towards Kätkätunturi and Lake Immeljärvi start right next to the Levi Tourist Information office. Different details are therefore useful when comparing these activities: for walking, the approximate network length and how the trails are groomed; for winter cycling, the stated destinations and the specific starting point beside the information office.

Northern Lights and getting there

On Levi’s Aurora map, Lake Immeljärvi is marked as a place to watch the Northern Lights. This gives you a specific location to consider when planning to see them. Be sure to follow the ice safety guidance.

An airport bus runs between Kittilä Airport and Levi for every arriving and departing domestic flight. As the availability of this flight-linked service may change, check the connection in relation to your flight.
