History with geography
The village near which the resort is located is called Sirka. It is located in the heart of Lapland, 160 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. Mount Levi is almost 900 kilometers away from Helsinki, but you can fly here with a local flight to Kittilä airport. Trains to the ski resort area arrive at Kolari station, 78 kilometers from the mountain. Next - a bus or a taxi.
Sirka became famous in the 1950s, when the first skiers began to come to its slopes. The construction of cottages for guests started in the late 70s, and then the slopes were equipped in accordance with the requirements and standards. Soon Levi was recognized as the best resort in the country, and a few years later the organizers launched the first gondola lift in Finland.
