Levi

What Levi does

Levi is a Finnish ski resort and year-round tourism destination located in Kittilä, Finnish Lapland, operated through a joint arrangement between two private Finnish limited companies — Levin Matkailu Oy (doing business as Visit Levi) and Oy Levi Ski Resort Ltd. The destination is Finland's largest winter resort, with 44 slopes, 26 ski lifts, 230 km of cross-country trails, freestyle facilities, and a destination-scale infrastructure footprint of approximately 700 accommodation properties, 25,000 beds, 105 special accommodations (igloos and unique lodging), and 60 restaurants.

The company's commercial surface is a tourism aggregation and booking platform at levi.fi, connecting visitors with accommodation providers and activity operators across all seasons. Core product lines include ski lift access and snow sports, accommodation booking, guided activity reservations (husky sledding, snowmobile tours, hiking, kayaking, golf, fishing, cultural attractions), summer experiences built around the midnight sun phenomenon, and spa and wellness services (17 pools at Levi Hotel Spa). The destination also hosts signature events such as the Midnight Sun Hunt treasure hunt, Bike & Outdoor Fest, and Ruskamaraton marathon.

The business model centers on destination marketing and ticket/booking monetization rather than direct ownership of most supply: the operating entity (11–50 employees) earns lift-pass revenue, booking commissions, and tourism marketing fees, while the underlying accommodation and activity inventory is largely owned by third-party operators aggregated on the platform. The 2025/26 winter season delivered a record 599,000 ski ticket-days with 26% international visitors, and a €60 million hotel expansion announced for 2027–2029 construction signals continued capacity deepening. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company is privately held with no identified venture capital, private equity, or external institutional ownership.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Emerging players

• ICEHOTEL (Sweden): Iconic Swedish Lapland destination in Jukkasjärvi combining year-round ice accommodations with northern lights and Arctic activities. Comparable to Levi's aurora/midnight sun-driven Lapland value proposition but with a more experiential, niche lodging focus.

Broad incumbents

• SkiStar: Scandinavia's largest ski resort operator, publicly listed, with integrated mountain destinations across Sweden, Norway, and Austria. Operates similar slopes, lifts, lodging, and year-round activity offerings but at significantly larger scale and with owned/leased accommodation inventory.

Regional players

• Lapland Hotels: Finland's largest privately owned hotel chain focused on Lapland destinations, operating multiple properties across northern Finland. Comparable to Levi's lodging aggregation strategy and Lapland-focused guest base, with stronger owned-hotel integration.

Direct peers

• Ylläs (Ylläs Ski Resort): One of Finland's largest ski resorts located in Kolari, Finnish Lapland, offering extensive slope infrastructure and year-round Arctic experiences. Closest direct competitor to Levi within Finland's largest-resort tier, sharing the same aurora- and Lapland-seeking international guest base.
• Ruka Ski Resort: Another major Finnish ski resort in Kuusamo, also marketed as a year-round destination with extensive slopes, lifts, and Lapland/Northern Finland experiences. Directly comparable to Levi in scale, geography (Finnish Lapland border), and winter + summer tourism model.
• Saariselkä (Inari-Saariselkä Tourism): Finnish Lapland resort area in Inari municipality offering skiing, aurora tourism, and Sami cultural experiences. Smaller ski infrastructure than Levi but competes for the same aurora-driven international visitor segment.
