Elves Village – Levi, Lapland, Finland

For about two weeks around Christmas, the sun doesn’t come up here at all.

Elves Village sits 180 km north of the Arctic Circle, in the little riverside village of Köngäs, 8 km from Levi, Finland’s biggest ski resort. There are no streetlights out here, just the river, the forest and a lot of sky.

Inside the village it’s Christmas every day. You can bake gingerbread at the Gingerbread House, make decorations at the Elf School, visit the Wise Elf’s House and see Santa’s own home. The elves’ reindeer live here too, so say hello to Kallee, Mikla and Malla.

Did You Know? Santa doesn’t take summers off. According to the village, he spends them inventing new gelato flavors.
