The fell of Levi is the largest and most popular ski resort in Lapland in northern Finland. It's located 6k south of the Arctic Circle. Although unpredictable, Levi is also a good place to spot the spectacular natural display of the Northern Lights.

Levi has a subarctic climate with short, mild summers with long, cold, snowy winters. Its extreme northerly location and overcast skies lead to very low levels of sunshine in the winter.

How Often Does It Snow In Levi?

Snow is on the ground for roughly half of the year, most commonly from late November to mid-April.  Between December and January, there's an over 80% chance of snow each day.

Climate Change and Snow At Christmas

In 2018, like much of Europe, Finland had an unseasonably hot summer and autumn. In Lapland snowfall is common between October and April and by November, there's usually a heavy blanket of snow that lasts until mid-March. 

But in 2018 the snow didn't arrive until mid-December, much later than usual and it didn't stick because of the warmer ground conditions.

Unseasonably mild conditions are likely to become more common as climate changes cause global temperatures to rise. 

Winter Daylight hours and Polar Night

Daylight hours are limited in this season, with just a few hours between 10am and 2pm during the peak winter months. This lack of light in winter is s known as Polar Night. The long dark nights do provide excellent conditions to see the Northern Lights which are most visible between November and March.

The Northern Lights

Levi's long, dark nights offer the perfect conditions to see the famous Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. It's quite a difficult phenomenon to predict but the best months to go for it are September, October, February, and March. 

The Northern Lights appears around 150 times a year in Lapland. This natural phenomenon is visible in Lapland when the sky is clear and is best viewed when there's no full Moon.
