It often begins with a feeling.

Something makes you take just one more step beyond the next bend.

Perhaps it's a trail disappearing into the fell birch forest. Perhaps it's an orienteering checkpoint that must be close, yet still remains hidden from view. Or maybe it's the thought that today, just today, you might discover something you never expected.

Anything is still possible.

It's that brief moment of anticipation before you know what you're about to find. That's exactly what makes searching so captivating. When everything is still open, your mind becomes alert, your senses sharpen, and every choice feels just a little more meaningful.

For a hiker, it's the moment before reaching a viewpoint so breathtaking that words simply aren't enough.

Levi's summer is full of moments like these. The landscape doesn't reveal itself all at once. The trail climbs gently higher, the forest opens up, and suddenly a new view unfolds before you.

For an orienteer, it's the moment when the compass points the way, but the next checkpoint is still waiting somewhere just out of sight.

You can experience that feeling for yourself at the B & O Orienteering Day, part of the Levi Bike & Outdoor Fest in July. Courses are designed for everyone, from first-time participants and families to experienced orienteers. It's not just about finding checkpoints or choosing the perfect route. It's about that rewarding feeling when you realise you're on the right track.

And sometimes, the discovery is something entirely different.

For a gold prospector, it's the instant before a glimmer appears in the gold pan or deep beneath the ground.

A tiny spark of possibility that could turn into a remarkable discovery at any moment. A fleeting instant that may have been anticipated for a day or even a lifetime.

That same sense of curiosity is woven into summer in Levi. Under the glow of the Midnight Sun, the landscape invites you to explore, wander a little farther and discover what lies beyond the next hill.

Throughout the summer, you can join the Midnight Sun Hunt, where Levi's tourism partners and Agnico Eagle Finland invite you to follow clues in search of a hidden gold nugget.

Perhaps the most valuable discovery is the unique feeling that searching itself can inspire. It might be a new favourite trail through the fells. A viewpoint you'll want to return to time and time again. Or simply the satisfaction of finding something through your own curiosity and determination.

Start Exploring and Let Summer in Levi Surprise You

B & O Orienteering Day is an invitation to experience the thrill of discovery for yourself. Pick up a map, follow your curiosity and let the fells lead the way. Come on your own, with friends or with your family and see where your curiosity takes you.

Perhaps you'll find the checkpoint.

Perhaps you'll find gold.

Or perhaps you'll discover something even more valuable: an unforgettable experience that keeps drawing you back to Levi, summer after summer.

One discovery often leads to another. That's why there's always something new to explore in Levi throughout the summer. The Midnight Sun Hunt continues until August, inviting you to keep searching and discovering long after your first adventure.

As a partner of Levi Bike & Outdoor Fest, Agnico Eagle Finland welcomes you to B&O Orienteering Day on 22 July 2026 to experience what it feels like to search, discover and be surprised in Levi this summer.
