Sirkka: Slopes, Bike Park and Winter Trails

Winter in Sirkka: Slopes and Trails

Levi in Sirkka can be explored through a range of activities: the Front Slopes are Levi’s main ski slopes and also the centre of the village. Other options include the bike park, winter walking trails, winter cycling trails and Immeljärvi, which is marked on the Levi Aurora Map as a Northern Lights viewing spot. These specific points of reference can help you plan your stay around the experiences that interest you most.

Skiing and the Bike Park

The Front Slopes are rated as red runs and offer beginners a certain challenge. When planning, it is helpful to consider this rating alongside the other offerings at Levi Ski Resort: the resort has a ski school. The character of the slopes and lessons are two different aspects of the ski offering; which of these matters for your trip depends on your plans.

At the Levi Bike Park, trails range from an easy green route to a difficult black route. There are also guided bike park courses and lessons with official FMBIA bike park instructors. The difficulty ratings describe the trails, while courses and lessons are a separate offering. This lets you distinguish between trail choice and guided activities when considering the bike park.

Winter Walking, Cycling and Immeljärvi

Levi’s winter walking trails are around 20 kilometres long in total and are groomed by snowmobiles. The approximate total length gives you an idea of the size of the trail network; grooming describes another practical aspect of the trails. Winter walking is therefore a focus in its own right, alongside skiing and biking.

A specific starting point is given for the winter cycling trails: they begin right next to the Levi Tourist Information office and head towards Kätkätunturi and Immeljärvi. So, compared with the winter walking trails, the starting point and direction are highlighted here, while the walking trails are described by their approximate total length. These differences can help you compare activities based on the kind of information that is useful for your plans.

Immeljärvi connects two of these points of reference: the lake lies in the direction of the winter cycling trails and is marked on the Levi Aurora Map as a place to see the Northern Lights. If the Northern Lights are of interest to you, this information offers another way to factor the lake into your plans.

Getting Here and Choosing a Holiday Apartment

Transport connections are also described. There is an airport bus between Kittilä Airport and Levi for every arriving and departing domestic flight. As availability of the flight-linked service may change, check the connection against your flight before you travel.

Ski Bus route R1 runs from Zero Point via the north-east slopes and Hossa to Sirkka School, then continues along Muoniontie and Myllyjoentie. Timetables may vary by season, so check them for your travel dates. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can compare your plans with the locations that matter to you: the Front Slopes’ proximity to the village centre, the winter cycling trails’ starting point by the Tourist Information office, or the bus connections. This can help you tailor your search to the experiences you want to shape your stay.
