Stayed here for 3 nights December 21. As part of a TUI package deal. I was sceptical about going with TUI and package deals. But overall was very impressed. The hotel is beautifully located at the top of the slope, and the hotel provides you with a gondola pass to the bottom of the slope and back up, which we used often. Doesn’t cover the last day though.

At the bottom of the slope is a ski hire shop, always plenty available but no last minute lessons available so book ahead if you want any lessons with the ski school.

There is kids land at the far left of the slopes, where there is a beginners slope and button lift, all free to use.

Places to eat are plenty, we went bed and breakfast, many people that stayed half board commented that the food wasn’t great and ate out, so tip to stay bed and breakfast. As part of TUI trip you get lunch with the Father Christmas village and you get an evening meal as part of the festive finale, so overall we only ate out a few times so I imagine that makes half board even less worth it. If you do eat out highly recommend conti pizza and pancake house!! Conti pizza is at the bottom across from the slopes, pancake house is just a short walk straight through the little Main Street opposite the slopes.

If we came back wouldn’t do a package deal, but would definitely come to Levi again & stay in a lodge. Being with TUI we ended up totally relying on their itinerary and would have liked more freedom. Christmas village was ok, nothing overly special and only there for about 90 minutes. Then on way home we ended up at the airport over 3 hours before our flight. Which seems excessive being a trip designed for children, no child wants to spend that much time at the airport waiting.
You also have to return the snow suits the night before, for my little boy he would have loved to have spent that time sledding.

Snow suits, boots and socks provided, they are ok, smelt a little of smoke, were too big and not as thick as our ski clothes, so would recommend taking your own if you have some. The boots are also well worn.

There are sleds everywhere that people have left, so don’t need to invest in one.

The rooms in the hotel were blank and no hint of Christmas, would have been great to see them decorated for our little boy especially being part of a Santa trip.

Beautiful location, 2 bedroom apartment was spacious yet very cosy. Hotel itself is lovely. Food is good with lots of choice - lots of Finnish food so that may not be for everyone. Cable car is great but for a change walking down the 700+ steps to Zero point is a must .

Amazing time with the family, Sunday 12th - Wednesday 15th December I think we picked the right hotel as well, we didnt experience the other hotels but the fact you can take the gondola down the slopes to the village was an added bonus and the hotel supply you with tickets for it during your stay. Superb way to get up and down. Lots of sledges around the hotel for your kids to use. I would say the buffet meals at the hotel are definitely short on different options especially for kids, we were half board which I think was a waste as we ate at the hotel Sunday night, we didn’t think much of it so decided to eat at Koti Pizza on the Monday night at the bottom of the slopes in the village and it was very nice food and great value for money, we had the finale meal on the Tuesday which was simply outstanding at the hotel so on reflection for our half board we ate once at the hotel and it wasn’t for us. The reps and elves are in a plenty from the moment you step off the plane and are all amazing fun. The taster trip gives you a little taste of a husky ride and a snowmobile ride which is great until you see the prices of the extra excursions, we booked the husky park for two adults and two kids which was €490, very very pricey imo but the trip is once in a lifetime for us and tbh the park was actually amazing (still not convinced of the huge price though) the village to walk around is amazing and around 7-8pm at night the ski slope closes for skiers and lots of people make their way to the slopes with the kids and sledges so do try it and keep it in mind, just grab a sledge or two from outside the hotel and you will have bags of fun. The snowsuits,boots and socks provide are perfect for the weather and we found we had taken far too much warm clothing that we never actually got around to wearing, joggers or a t shirt under the snowsuit was more than enough and when you ate on buses to excursions you will definately need to keep the top end of the snowsuit tied around your waist as the buses are very warm. Not to forget the biggest reason we are all heading to Lapland is to see the big man himself and the visit to Santa’s village is unbelievable for everyone adults and kids haha. We had originally booked a day trip for around £2k last year and when it was cancelled due to covid we upgraded to the 3 nights, it was still expensive but so so glad we done it as the day trip would maybe be too quick and exhausting. We were gutted there was pretty much 100% cloud cover whilst we were there so no opportunity to see the Northern Lights but hopefully if you go then you get that chance. We would 100% love to go back one day stunning place and I’ve added just a few pictures of the hotel from outside and the bottom of the slope, I don’t want to spoil too much lol
