Northern Lights Moments
Evenings in February often invite you outdoors. Many nights offer the chance to watch the northern sky, whether on a guided tour or simply from near your accommodation.
Skiing and Snowshoeing
Levi is best known for skiing, with slopes and cross-country trails offering plenty to do in February. If you’re looking to try something different, snowshoeing is an easy and surprisingly fun way to step off the tracks and explore the surrounding winter landscape.
Husky and Reindeer Experiences

Snowmobiling Adventures
Guided snowmobile tours take you beyond the resort into open fell landscapes and forest trails. February conditions make these safaris both scenic and comfortable.
Sauna and Unhurried Evenings
After time spent in the snow, returning to warmth matters. A private sauna, a delicious meal and a quiet evening indoors are often what guests remember most.
