The main attraction in the Levi area is Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, Finland’s third largest National Park. One of the Finnish national landscapes, it is dominated by fells surrounded by lakes, forests, and mires in their natural state. Thanks to its varying terrain, pure air, and natural beauty, Pallas-Yllästunturi is the perfect place to ski, hike, and generally enjoy the outdoors.
