COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
How to get from Kittilä Airport to Levi
Kittilä Airport to Levi is one of the shortest airport-to-ski journeys in Finnish Lapland. The airport bus can suit a central Sirkka hotel, while a private vehicle is useful for a cabin away from the main stops. Levi is a fell with several ski bases, so the resort name alone does not identify the final destination. The southern slopes, central Front Slopes and hillside accommodation can require different drop-offs. A short road journey still needs time for baggage collection and winter clothing.
Use the property address in Sirkka, South Point or the relevant Levi neighbourhood. Check whether the airport bus serves that stop and whether a cabin host can arrange pickup.

Levi spreads around a rounded fell above Sirkka, with central Front Slopes and separate southern and western bases. A centre hotel can be convenient for dining and initial uplift, while a cabin near another side needs daily transport planning. The skiing, village services and airport-bus stops are not all in one place. Use the official map to choose a first-day teaching or rental base.
Which ski area should you choose?
Front Slopes
Convenient to central Sirkka and the principal village services.
South Point
A separate base useful for southern-side accommodation and teaching.
West and other fell sectors
Choose open links and check the transport back to your accommodation.
Piste difficulty: Ski.fi’s grading list includes two green, 19 blue, 20 red and four black slopes. Learning terrain sits alongside steeper runs, including the Levi Black race slope. Beginners should select a dedicated teaching area rather than follow a full-fell circuit. Check illumination and lift hours for short winter days, and use the operator map for the current layout.
After the transfer: Use the property address in Sirkka, South Point or the relevant Levi neighbourhood. Check whether the airport bus serves that stop and whether a cabin host can arrange pickup.

Kittilä Airport → Levi / Sirkka → Hotel stopApproximate journey: 20–45 min when a bus connects

Show the driver the booked stop and confirm ski-bag capacity before departure; allow a taxi connection if the remaining walk is unsuitable with luggage.
- Start at Kittilä Airport and confirm the correct departure point for the first leg.
- Follow the planned connections: Levi / Sirkka → Hotel stop.
- Use the property address in Sirkka, South Point or the relevant Levi neighbourhood. Check whether the airport bus serves that stop and whether a cabin host can arrange pickup.
