@rozaakram6945 11 месяцев назад

This is really helpful. I’m going to Levi for Xmas with my mum. We are hoping to book a beginners ski lesson. Would love some tips on what to buy to wear please

@FamilyTripping 11 месяцев назад

I'll be posting the video on what to wear and what to pack at the start of October I think so if you haven't already, make sure you subscribe and turn on notifications, so you don't miss it. You could always do a beginner ski lesson at a snow sports centre in this country, or even a dry ski slope so that you'll be a bit ahead of the game when you go out there and you can ski a bit on your own after your lesson. You'll have the most amazing time!

@ZachD1234 8 месяцев назад

Great video, we're visiting soon but not skiing could I ask about the donut rings on the South slope? How do you get to this from the centre, go up the ski lift? And was there a cost for them? Thanks

@FamilyTripping 8 месяцев назад

You could get a taxi, bus, drive or walk to South Point (depending on where you are staying). The tubes are just there and free. It's in the kids area. So with your back to the ski rental place, with the slopes and lifts in front of you, walk right and you should come to it. It's easy to find.

@rienkdevries5567 29 дней назад

Hi, first of all, what a great and helpfull video's! I have one question, did you say in one of your video's that car rental for 11 days was only around 1000 euro's? Where can you rent that cheap? Thanks!

@FamilyTripping 26 дней назад

Thank you for your kind comments. Yes we paid 1,100 euros and I think we could have got it cheaper if we had booked very far in advance. The hire company was good too. Obviously everything is getting more expensive and we went in 2022/23 New Year - but a peak time still. If you were going in February or March you could probably get a good deal. My husband has the car rental company details so I will get back to you with those tomorrow.

@FamilyTripping 23 дня назад

We went with Finn Rent for car hire.

@akshataraskar 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for such an informative video. Can you please guide us how to book tickets for Skiing? And Skii equipment?

@FamilyTripping 6 месяцев назад

We may make a Levi skiing guide, but in the meantime here are some tips. We used Elan ski rental in town, a short walk to Zero Point. They seemed to be slightly cheaper than hiring at Zero Point itself. Although at Zero Point you are at the slopes and ready to go. - no walking with your equipment. Elan's website is here www.elanskishoplevi.fi/rental and you can book in advance. You pay when you return the items. Sometimes they do discounts for booking a certain time in advance. But you can also just turn up and rent, like we did. You might have to wait a bit at busy times as there can be lots of people wanting to rent and return items. We have also rented from Zero Point before and just turned up. We also just turned up and bought our ski passes at Zero Point. You can probably save a bit by booking them online in advance. www.levi.fi/en/services/zero-point-rental/ We didn't have lessons but I would advise booking in advance for those if possible.

@akshataraskar 6 месяцев назад

@@FamilyTripping Thank you so much for your swift response. Your prompt attention to the queries is truly commendable.

@FamilyTripping 6 месяцев назад

@@akshataraskar hope it helps and I hope you have the most amazing time. The skiing was truly beautiful but it can obviously be very cold especially when you factor in the wind chill from the lifts, so make sure you check out our video What to Wear and Pack for Lapland ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wpK6sXGfqUs.html

@joannekontak5053 9 месяцев назад

Been trying to get there for years and can't seem to piece together or find a package tour. Santa's Village is number 1 on my bucket list. Hope it happens soon.... I'm not getting any younger here! Any good ideas to get me and my 2 grandkids there... let m know!

@FamilyTripping 9 месяцев назад

I do hope you get there. Rovaniemi is quite easy to do on your own and you can follow the tips in the video to save money. It's well worth the effort.

@LadyPlans 22 дня назад

Hi again, how much did u spend on the trip excluding the flights to and from your home

@FamilyTripping 22 дня назад

Flights weren't that expensive (850 euros in total for the 4 of us) so 1400 euros for 11 nights x4 (people) is 5600 euros - 850 euros for flights = 4750 euros.

@felicidadeannrosario4964 3 месяца назад

Can we get to see northern lights and snow in the month of may?

@FamilyTripping 3 месяца назад

August to April is the best time for the northern lights. There can still be snowfalls in May, depending on where in Lapland you go, but if you really want snow I would go earlier.

@desmondchu1994 10 месяцев назад

So,you were renting a car for road trip. Are there no transportation options in Lapland? I want to go to Lapland, but I feel unconfident about driving a car on snowy roads.

@FamilyTripping 10 месяцев назад

Yes we rented a car. Driving in Finland is much easier than you would expect. The winter tyres out there make a huge difference and the route we did was really straightforward, Rovaniemi to Lusoto, to Levi and back to Rov. Just long straight roads. But yes you can buses if you prefer and then try to stay relatively central, wherever you stay. A lot of tour companies, for husky rides, snowmobile etc will pick you up for a fee too.

@globe_throtter_1843 28 дней назад

Hi. I believe that this is not the first time your husband drives the car on the right side of the road. I am thinking of to rent a car, but what make me think twice is driving on the right side of the road😅 How is the traffic in Rovaniemi? is it okay for those who not familiar with left hand drive?

@FamilyTripping 26 дней назад

Yes he has driven on the other side quite a bit. The traffic isn't bad in Rovaniemi and once out of there it is totally fine. I do think though if you are really nervous about it perhaps it's best not to as you don't want the pressure and nerves on what is meant to be a holiday. You also have to factor in the road conditions as these can be challenging sometimes, with ice etc.

@globe_throtter_1843 26 дней назад

@@FamilyTripping Thanks for responding. I used to drive in heavy snow and an icy road in Hokkaido Japan before. However it is still on right hand drive like UK & my country. Anyhow, thanks for sharing your thought

@FamilyTripping 24 дня назад

@@globe_throtter_1843 Well with your experience of the snow and ice, if it's just driving on the other side that concerns you I would go for it. Just make sure you aren't driving too tired when you first do it, which might mean staying over by the airport for the first night. It just requires more concentration. There are probably online programs or video games where you can practise driving on the other side to get it into your mind.
