Guide prices from typical Levi rates for each kind of step, not a quote. Your plan prices the actual operators for your dates, and you book and pay each of them directly. Not included: Flights, which you book yourself. Ski hire and lift passes — this week does not need them. Anything you add once you are there, and the dinners you decide to eat out beyond the two in the figure.

FAQs
Lapland Concierge's advice
Put the aurora evening on the clearest night rather than the night you booked. Every operator on this page will move it, and the sky does not read itineraries.
Is five days long enough in Levi with children?
Yes, and it is the length most families ask for — of the last seventeen plans we built, seven were exactly five days. It gives you three full days, which is one big thing each: the huskies, the reindeer and the Christmas forest day. A sixth day is worth having if you want to add skiing; a fourth would mean cutting one of the three.
What does a December week in Levi cost for a family of four?
About €3,114 on the figures on this page, or €779 each, before flights. The guided days are €1,598 of that and are the part you can move: drop the Christmas forest day and the aurora picnic and you are near €2,380. The cabin, the food shop and the transfers are the floor.
How much daylight is there in December?
Very little, and it matters more than the cold. Levi sits above the Arctic Circle, so around midwinter the sun does not properly rise — you get roughly four hours of blue and gold light in the middle of the day. Every activity here is built around that window, which is why nothing starts before eleven and the evenings are for the sauna.
Will we see the northern lights?
Maybe. December is a good month for darkness and a mixed one for cloud, and no operator can sell you a sighting however they word it. The lake picnic on day four is the darkest place you will stand all week and gives you the best chance going; if the forecast is better on another night, ask to move it, because every operator on this page will.
Do we need a hire car?
No. Two transfers and a taxi on the husky and reindeer days cover it, and both of those operators are used to collecting from cabins. A car is worth it only if you plan to drive to Ylläs or the national park, which this week does not.
What should children wear?
Thermal base layer, fleece, and a proper snowsuit with mittens rather than gloves — small fingers lose heat fast and mittens keep them together. Most operators lend an outer suit and boots for the activity itself, so ask before you buy: the husky and reindeer providers on this page both do.
