BEYOND LEVI 

YOUR GUIDE'S INVITATION:

"As a passionate road tripper, I've crisscrossed the countryside around Levi for the past ten years. From wide, tree-lined roads to forest tracks, from valleys to Arctic mountains, from towns to remote hamlets, by car or even on foot, I've discovered countless lovely places I'm eager to share with you. This adventure is for anyone who doesn't want to break the bank renting a car, who doesn't want to or can't hike long distances, but who has a thirst for exploration and to discover Lapland far beyond the charming resort of Levi.
