What is Levi like in May?
May is Levi's transition season. Slopes and trails usually close around May Day. Snow melts quickly especially in the village, but fell tops may have snow well into May. Many restaurants and safari operators take a break before summer season. Nature awakens — migratory birds return, streams flow, birch trees bud. May is quiet and affordable, but the range of services is more limited.
What to do in May?
- Hiking and walking — fell trails open as snow melts (late month)
- Birdwatching — migratory birds return to Lapland
- Fishing — Ounasjoki river breaks free from ice, fishing season begins
- Cycling — road cycling possible as roads dry out
- Silence and watching nature awaken
