Elves Village, known as Tonttula, is a whimsical village all about embracing the magic of Christmas and the enchanting world of elves.

Just 8 km from Levi, Tonttula, the Elves Village, feels like stepping straight into a Lappish fairy tale. The village is set by the Ounasjoki river and blends nature, folklore, and playful elf-themed experiences in a way that works for all ages.

Start at the Visitor Centre: here you can grab a coffee or taste their on-site gelato made from local berries. From there, explore the elf trails through the forest, discover small elf houses, and stop by Karhutuoli, a perfect photo spot. For a unique stay, the Aurora Pyramids let you watch the northern lights from your own room.

Tonttula works year-round. In winter, the snow-covered village and riverside sauna create magical photo opportunities. In summer, the forest paths and riverside views bring a peaceful, green atmosphere.

This is a place for families, couples, and content creators alike. It’s small, intimate, and full of hidden corners waiting to be explored.

In addition to the elf encounters, Tonttula offers beautiful natural scenery, with snow-covered landscapes that are straight out of a storybook. Whether it's enjoying a hot drink by a crackling fire or taking part in seasonal festivities, Elves Village captures the essence of Finnish culture and holiday spirit in a delightful way.
