Levi: Northern Lights Village (Part 2)

Our accommodation package also included two activities, which were a Husky kennel visit (where we also had husky-pulled sled rides), and a 3-hour electric bike safari through the snowy Finnish forest. We were so grateful that we had a fully snowy landscape around at all times, it was like living in a real winter wonderland! Of course, we loved visiting the huskies because they were so cute and friendly - we even got in trouble a couple of times for wandering too far from the group so we could pat all the dogs. The winter forest landscape we rode through on our bike safari was so beautiful, although the experience was slightly marred by the third member of our group barely being able to ride a bike so we (and the guide) had to keep stopping for her. The bikes had an electric motor like Craig and Jud's which made riding very easy, even through snow (we also had very fat tires like the people who ride along the beach sand at home) and up the hills.
We certainly made the most of our full board included in our booking. The hotel buffet always served a variety of delicious, local, and fresh dishes for every meal. We even saw a wild fox one night which was very exciting for us. On our last night we booked the resort sauna and hot tub to have our last Nordic sauna experience, which we have loved throughout the whole trip. This was very enjoyable because even the sauna had a glass roof so we could see the night sky and snow outside as we cooked inside! We definitely missed the ability to jump into a cold ocean or fjord after some time in the heat though, it makes you feel so refreshed afterwards. Our time in Levi has been unforgettable and is definitely something we think everyone should do at some point, if we have stayed forever we definitely would've in a heartbeat!Read more
