Leevilandia is a family-friendly snow and ski area designed for children and beginners. Located next to the south slopes, it offers a range of activities, including beginner ski and snowboard slopes, snow tubing, a dedicated sledding hill and an indoor kids’ play area.
Often used by the snow school for beginner ski lessons, it’s also a great option for families who want to have fun in the snow without spending the whole day skiing. With a kota where you can grill marshmallows and sausages, an indoor play area for young children and facilities to warm up, it’s easy to spend several hours here enjoying the snow.
What Is Leevilandia?
Leevilandia is the name given to a dedicated family area at South Point, right next to the south slopes. It provides a safe and relaxed environment for beginner skiers and snowboarders to learn the sport, while also giving families plenty of opportunities to enjoy the snow together.
The area is designed with families and beginners in mind, with easier slopes and a range of activities beyond skiing and snowboarding. It’s suitable for both skiers and non-skiers, with the benefit of an indoor area (often referred to as Leevi’s playground) where visitors can warm up, as well as activities for young children, particularly those under five, to have fun and stay warm.
Where Is Leevilandia?
Leevilandia is located at South Point, next to the bottom of the South Slopes. The area is alongside the ski rental, ski school and brand shop, making it convenient for families who need to hire equipment or arrange beginner lessons.
Its location away from the centre of Levi also means it’s worth planning your transport before visiting, particularly if you’re travelling with young children or carrying winter equipment.
How to get to Leevilandia
Although Leevilandia can be accessed from the ski slopes, it’s designed for both beginners and non-skiers, so you don’t need to be skiing to get there. From central Levi, the two easiest options are the ski bus or car/taxi, with either journey generally taking around 10–20 minutes.
Ski bus
The R2 ski bus runs from Levi town centre, with stops near Zero Point, to South Point. Services run frequently during the day, making it a convenient option for families staying in central Levi.
Depending on the current ticket arrangements, Leevilandia day tickets may include ski bus travel, so check the latest terms when purchasing your ticket.
Taxi or drive
Driving or taking a taxi is another convenient option, with a good-sized car park at South Point. A taxi is a straightforward choice if you’re travelling with young children or lots of winter clothing and equipment.
Leevilandia tickets
Leevilandia is a dedicated, fenced-off area and requires a ticket to access. Anyone with a valid ski pass can access Leevilandia at no additional charge.
For visitors and children without a ski pass, a Leevilandia day ticket can be purchased separately at a lower price. The ticket allows you to come and go throughout the day, making it possible to leave for lunch or a break and return later.
Very young children, such as those under four, may be admitted free when accompanied by a paying adult, although age requirements and ticket conditions can change.
Current prices and Leevilandia tickets can be found through the official Levi Ski Resort ticket site.
Activities at Leevilandia
Designed for families of all ages, Leevilandia has plenty to offer both skiers and non-skiers. Activities include:
Beginner ski and snowboard slopes
Leevilandia has three small and gentle slopes, each slightly longer than the previous one. Two carpet lifts serve the first two slopes, with lengths of 6m and 14m, while a 22m button lift serves the final slope.
Anyone with a Leevilandia pass can use the slopes, and the ski school also uses them for beginner lessons. This makes the area an ideal place to try skiing or snowboarding in a controlled and relaxed environment.
The slopes are generally groomed and maintained to a good standard. However, the area can become busy at times, particularly during peak periods, and you may need to queue for the lifts. Ski school students have priority access to the lifts and can skip the queues, so expect the waiting times to vary depending on how busy the ski school is.
Snow tubing
A fun activity for both children and adults, the snow tubing slope is located next to the second carpet lift, which can be used to easily reach the top of the slope. A small number of snow tubes are provided and can usually be found at the bottom of the slope, ready to use.
Snow tubing is simple to try and requires no skiing ability, making it a great option for non-skiers or anyone looking for a break from the slopes.
Sledding
There’s a short, dedicated sledding hill next to the entrance of Leevilandia, with sledges provided for visitors to use. It’s a simple but fun activity that most children will enjoy, and they can easily spend plenty of time going back up and down the hill.
There’s no need to bring your own sledge, as they are provided and can usually be found throughout the sledding area.
Levi’s playground
This is a dedicated indoor area with toilets, a main hall where visitors can warm up, and a selection of simple activities for young children to enjoy. The play area is mainly aimed at children aged five and under, making it particularly useful for families with younger children.
It’s also a convenient place to take a break from the cold and enjoy a snack or lunch that you’ve brought with you, before heading back outside to continue enjoying Leevilandia.
Kota with open fire
Located at the top of the first short slope, the traditional Finnish kota provides a warm place to take a break in front of the open fire. It’s also a great spot to toast marshmallows and sausages, making it a fun part of the Leevilandia experience.
The kota isn’t particularly large, so be prepared to share the space with other families, especially during busy periods.
Are there any places to eat in Leevilandia?
During peak periods, such as school holidays, a small outdoor food and drinks kiosk may be available close to the entrance of Leevilandia. It’s worth checking the upper entrance, as the kiosk can be easy to miss.
Apart from this, there are no cafes or restaurants within Leevilandia itself. There are two restaurants further up the south ski slope, but access is mainly intended for skiers, and walking up the ski slopes to reach them is not recommended.
Bringing your own drinks and snacks is often a good idea if you plan on staying for a few hours. You can make use of the large indoor hall, which has tables and chairs, allowing you to take a break, warm up and top up your energy levels.
