Après-Ski and Nightlife in Levi
Levi's après-ski scene is legendary — and one of the reasons why this resort village is Finland's most popular ski destination even after the sun goes down. Après-ski in Levi has two parts: the outdoor afternoon celebration at the slopes in ski clothes, and later in the evening the restaurants and nightclubs.
Après-Ski Culture in Levi
Après-ski starts in the afternoon at slope-side restaurants and terraces — in ski clothes, drink in hand. The atmosphere is relaxed and international. The afternoon après-ski is very much an outdoor affair, right at the base of the slopes. From there, the evening often continues with a sauna, dinner and then nightclubs and bars.
