South Point in Levi is the resort’s service building located at the base of the South Slopes and can be considered one of Levi’s main resort hubs. Similar to Zero Point, the building provides a range of useful services, including a ticket office, ski rental, ski school and a clothing and accessories store.
Like Zero Point, the immediate area around South Point is also commonly referred to by the same name. The area provides access to several chairlifts and is next to Leevilandia, Levi’s dedicated beginner and family snow area.
Why start your day at South Point?
The South Slopes are made up of wide, gentle blue runs that are generally well maintained, with modern six-seater chairlifts providing access to the slopes and the beginner areas of Leevilandia close by. With a warm service building and equipment rental available, South Point is an ideal place to rent your equipment and head straight out onto the snow.
Lockers are also available for storing equipment, including overnight storage, saving you the hassle of carrying skis, snowboards and other equipment back and forth to your accommodation each day.
For families and less experienced skiers, South Point is certainly one of the best places in Levi to start the day. You can head directly onto the South Slopes or spend some time enjoying the beginner slopes and other snow activities inside Leevilandia.
Getting to South Point
With very little accommodation located directly at the base of the South Slopes, you’ll likely need to travel to South Point. The most common ways to get there are by ski bus, car/taxi or by skiing directly to the area.
Ski bus
Operating throughout the day (with a short lunch break), the R2 ski bus provides service between Zero Point and South Point. On the return journey, it also stops at West Point, where you’ll find the Gondola 2000, also known as the scenic cabin lift/.
Usage of the ski bus is included with Leevilandia tickets, company passes, and optionally included with ski passes, but tickets can also be purchased separately if needed. Buying a ticket directly on the bus can be more expensive, so it’s worth checking what’s included with your pass and purchasing a separate bus ticket in advance if needed.
Car and taxi
There is ample parking at South Point, with a large car park located next to the service building. Alternatively, a taxi from central Levi is a convenient option and the journey generally takes around 10 minutes.
Skiing directly to South Point
Depending on where you start your day, it’s also possible to use the lifts and gondolas to reach the upper slopes and then ski down towards South Point. This can be a convenient option for more experienced skiers who are already exploring other parts of the resort.
If you’re a beginner with little skiing or snowboarding experience, however, you may prefer to travel directly to the base of the South Slopes. From here, you can use the modern chairlifts to access the wide blue runs or start on the smaller beginner slopes within Leevilandia.
What’s at South Point?
Very similar to the facilities available at Zero Point, inside the South Point service building you’ll find:
- Ticket office – Purchase ski passes and other slope tickets.
- Equipment rental – Rent ski and snowboard equipment for the day or longer.
- Ski school – Ski school desk and a base for instructors.
- A brand store – Selling clothing and accessories.
- Lockers – Store spare clothing during the day or ski and snowboard equipment overnight.
- Toilets – Public toilets are available inside the building.
Immediately outside the South Point service building you’ll find a similar setup to Zero Point, including a large car park, ski pass ticket machine and bus stop. You’ll also find Leevilandia immediately next to South Point, along with easy access to the South Slopes and chairlifts.
Ski school
During the peak winter season, many beginner ski and snowboard lessons have a meeting point outside the South Point building. With Leevilandia immediately next to the service building, along with easy access to the wider blue slopes, it’s an ideal place for beginners and less experienced skiers and snowboarders to meet their instructors and start their lessons.
Food and drink
During busy weeks, you can often find an outdoor kiosk serving snacks and hot drinks at the base of the South Slopes. However, unlike Zero Point, there is no café inside the South Point service building itself.
If you’re skiing, you’ll find a couple of restaurants near the base of the South Slopes. These are conveniently positioned for skiers coming down the slopes, rather than visitors approaching South Point on foot.
If you have a ski pass, you’ll also have access to Leevilandia, where there is a warm indoor area with tables and seating. This is a useful place to take a break and warm up, and you can also bring your own lunch or snacks if you want to avoid the cost of eating at one of the slope restaurants.
Frequently asked questions
