Visit the Elves Village and explore on your own (entrance tickets, no program)
Description
During 1.1.-31.3.26
Step into the magical evening atmosphere of the Elves Village (Tonttula) in Levi, Finnish Lapland! This self-guided evening experience invites you to explore the hidden world of the elves under the glow of lanterns and the stars — and if you're lucky, even under the Northern Lights.
Your journey begins at Santa’s Visitor Center, where you’ll receive a secret map to guide you through the enchanting Fantasy World of the Elves. The trails are lit and peaceful, offering a calm and magical setting for couples, families, and curious wanderers alike.
As you follow the Elves’ Path, you'll discover the Elves Hideaway — a collection of charming, hidden huts once kept secret from humankind. Explore the Santa’s Mountain House, Santa’s new home, the Gingerbread House, the Elf School, and the Wise Elf’s House, all beautifully lit and open for admiration from outside and in.
Don’t miss the Seita Stone, the mystical entrance to the underground kingdom of elves, goblins, forest people, and magical creatures — where peace, respect, and cooperation thrive. You're welcome to enter and feel the ancient magic within.
Wander through the authentic Lappish courtyard of Tonttula and peek into the elves’ storehouses, the Temple, and the Blacksmith’s workshop — each rich in rustic Arctic charm.
If the snow conditions are right, the toboggan slide is open — and you're invited to experience the thrill of sledding under the evening sky.
Inside Santa’s Visitor Center, it's Christmas every day! The Elf Shop is stocked with beautiful souvenirs and handcrafted gifts, perfect for taking the magic home with you.
