Experiences

The appended map shows the trails marked by lines in different colours as follows: The summit trail in brown, the trail of times past in green, the trail of the great shaman Päiviö in pink and the Ice Age/geological trail in turquoise.

Peak Trail

The trail begins at the gondola lift's peak station and rotates clockwise around the Levi fell's peak. The Peak Trail is a scenic route measuring almost a kilometre and compliant with accessibility requirements. The trail has six rest areas and one campfire place. The theme of the trail is 'nature's celestial stories'.

The accessible gondola lift brings the scenic tour to visitors in wheelchairs and families with children in prams.

Ice Age Trail / Geological Trail

The trail starts in the Levi Summit Nature and Conference Centre courtyard, travels clockwise around the Levi fell, near the tree line, and returns to the Levi Summit courtyard. The almost 9 km trail will feature 13 nature trail signs and 10 kilometre posts. The path of the trail partly follows the terrain of Levi's Nordic walking paths in the park and, among others, passes through the Reindeer Park area. The nature trail signs cover the Ice Age theme over the course of 30 000 years and geographically over an area of 9 km, representing each period with a different animal figure. The second theme of the signs is the geology of the area.

The kilometre posts along the route tell the tale of travel as well as time. They use a scale of 10 000 years per metre i.e. each kilometre trekked takes us back ten million years in time. The kilometre posts introduce animals that have lived during this period all around the world. These kilometre posts eventually take us back in time by 80 million years.

Life of the Past Trail

The trail begins at the Levi centre's Zero Point courtyard, circling clockwise around the bottom of the fell back to the point of departure, travelling a distance of 18 km. The trail has a good overview of the golf park. The path runs through the Reindeer Park area and makes it possible to see reindeers in close to natural surroundings. The theme of times past recreates life in Levi in the late 18th century. The relationship between man and nature is dealt with humorously in a series of 16 nature trail signs.

Päiviö´s Path - the trail of the great shaman

Located in Taalovaara, the trail is a kilometre long and overlaps with the trail of times past, stopping by the Kellostapuli fell. There are many folk tales about the great shaman Päiviö. Some of the tales in the signs relate to the area around Taalovaara and Kellostapuli fell.
