Meet the reindeer
Our reindeer live freely in their natural surroundings in Lompolo, surrounded by the quiet wilderness of Lapland. This is not a tourist farm, but a peaceful home for our reindeer. We visit the area only with our own Soma guests as part of selected experiences. Here you can meet the reindeer in their own environment and learn about their life in the North.

Yes! Levi is one of the best places in Finnish Lapland to see the Northern Lights, with auroras visible on around 111 nights each year. However, sightings always depend on clear skies, solar activity and a little luck, so no one can guarantee you’ll see them.
At Soma Adventures, we only run our Northern Lights tours when conditions are promising. You’ll spend the evening at a private wilderness cabin away from light pollution, enjoying homemade snacks, local stories and a campfire while waiting for the aurora. If the forecast shows full cloud cover, we’ll cancel the tour and provide a full refund.
Levi village is the perfect base for your holiday, with restaurants, ski slopes, shops and activities all within easy reach. It’s the most convenient choice for visitors looking for accommodation in Levi.
