Things to do in Levi (Sirkka)

  1. Tiikun Tii Pii

    The most interesting eating option by far, this is a Lapp hut 2.5km from the centre which is bookable for two to 15 people. You get a drink on arrival and watch the traditional dishes being prepared (nettle soup, smoked reindeer steak or salmon, Lapp cheese), before enjoying them in the cosy interior. Drinks with the meal are included in the price (you can also bring your own), and there's plenty of entertainment, such as storytelling the Sámi way (yoiks). It's a lot of fun. You must book ahead; there are normally two timeslots per night (18:00 and 21:00).
