Come and visit the Reindeer Park (in Summer )

At Levi, you can get to know Lapland’s renowned antlered heads also during the summer. The reindeer and their fawns wander about freely in a 170-hectare enclosed area in Levi fell. In the park you can walk, hike and reindeer watch while admiring wonderful views. Park will be opened for the Summer after skiing season.

A Nordic Walking trek in the Reindeer Park, with or without a guide, is something to remember.  Levi’s summer programme includes guided walks in the park.
