Levi

Levi is a fell located in Finnish Lapland, and the largest ski resort in Finland. The resort is located in the village of Sirkka, Kittilä municipality and is served by Kittilä Airport and Kolari railway station. At a latitude of 67.8° north, it is located approximately 170 km (110 mi) north of the Arctic Circle. The peak of the Levi fell is at an elevation of 531 metres (1, 742 ft) above sea level. There are 43 ski slopes (17 of which are floodlit) and 27 ski lifts in Levi. Ascending the fell are 2 gondolas, 5 chairlifts, 14 T-bar lifts, 5 stick lifts, 4 rope tows, and 1 magic carpet ski lift for children. Levi is one of two locations of gondola lifts in Finland, and has been chosen as the best domestic skiing resort in Finland four times. Levi is an early stop on the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup circuit, hosting slaloms in mid-November, though the races in 2019 were held slightly later (November 23–24). With snowmaking, the climate provides a reliable early-season technical venue in Europe, prior to the late autumn events in North America. Uniquely, the winner of the women's slalom event is awarded a reindeer, though to date none of the winners have taken it away; the prize reindeer continue living on a nearby farm. The slopes in Levi are mostly suitable for beginners or intermediates, but there are also three black slopes for experts. The highest vertical drop is 325 m (1, 066 ft)
