Levi Electric Snow Bike Northern Lights Campfire Tour

Ride an electric snow bike
to the frozen lake

Meet your guide at Koutamaa on the edge of Levi village, get a short briefing and set off on an electric snow bike. With wide tires and an electric motor, it glides quietly over the snow, and since the motor does the hard work, basic cycling skills are all you need. As you ride along the shore, your guide shows you how to find and read animal tracks and tells you the fire fox legend. Depending on the night, you may find tracks of foxes, reindeer, hares or forest birds.

Wait for the stars and aurora on the lake

Stop on the open lake, turn off all lights and look up at the sky in darkness and silence. As your eyes adjust, the stars appear one by one, and on nights with active auroras, the northern lights may dance overhead.

Relax by the campfire and learn about the aurora

Cross the ice to a shelter open to the sky, where your guide lights a traditional campfire with flint and steel. Enjoy traditional Lapland snacks, coffee from a smoky kettle and hot drinks by the fire while keeping an eye on the sky. Learn to read aurora forecasts (Kp index, solar wind, cloud maps) and get tips for photographing the night sky with your phone. Group photos and aurora photos (if the aurora appears) taken by the guide are sent to you after the tour. The tour ends back at Koutamaa, the starting point.

※ The northern lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
