Levi is the practical aurora-plus-ski destination in Finland. Direct seasonal flights into Kittilä mean you can fly Friday morning, ski Saturday, watch aurora from a heated cabin Sunday, and fly home Monday. Northern Lights Village Levi sits on the resort's edge with glass-roof cabins; conventional ski-in/ski-out cabins are cheaper and only marginally less dark.
