Originally built in the 1940s, it serves as the primary air gateway to the Levi ski resort area and the broader Lapland wilderness.

Traveller Tips
  • Book transport to Levi in advance during the peak winter ski season (December–April) as taxis and shuttles fill up quickly on arrival.
  • Pack layers regardless of season — temperatures can drop sharply even in late spring or early autumn in Lapland.
  • Arrive early in winter as snow and ice conditions can cause road delays between the airport and Levi.
  • Check for seasonal flight schedules, as the number of routes increases significantly during winter and some European carriers only operate charter flights here.
