The safari route takes us through snow-covered forests and across open frozen marshlands while enjoying the peaceful winter scenery along the way. After the ride, we arrive at the enchanting Elves Hideaway, located by the quiet Ounasjoki River.
Inspired by Lapland mythology, fairy tales and northern traditions, Elves Hideaway offers a magical atmosphere for visitors of all ages. During the visit, your guide will take you on a guided tour through the hidden world of the elves and their stories.
After the tour, we enjoy a delicious soup lunch and hot drinks in the cozy restaurant before having time to explore the area or purchase souvenirs. We then continue the adventure by snowmobile along a different route back to Levi.
