When they get out of the water, the elves crouch in the beach water, picking up pebbles from the sand.

At first, the seat felt a bit hard under her bottom, but after a while it felt as if she was sitting on a thick, soft pillow, it was so warm and comfy. The sitter felt safe, too – she was now in the lap of the bear, the king of the forest.\\\”

Aurora Walk – a winter evening in the lantern-lit forest | Elves Village,only 8 km from Levi
As evening falls over the village of Köngäs, the lights come on along the forest trail at Elves Village. Snow crunches beneath your boots, little cabins peek through the trees, and every bend Read morereveals something new. Take a moment to stop and listen to how quiet the winter forest can be.
Aurora Walk is a self-guided evening walk at Elves Village (Tonttula), just 8 km from the centre of Levi. Follow the easy, roughly one-kilometre trail at your own pace, peek at the elves’ secret cabins, and discover Tonttulan Piilo and Seitakivi tucked away in the woods. Bring your camera or phone. This is where you’ll get those perfect photos for your socials! Think snow-covered trees, softly glowing lights, and little cabins straight out of a Christmas film. 📸
We welcome only a limited number of visitors each evening, so there’s room to slow down, stop whenever you like, and enjoy the quiet. It’s the kind of winter evening we locals look for when we head into the forest. On a clear night, look up above the treetops. If you’re lucky, you might catch the Northern Lights dancing across the sky. On cloudy evenings, the soft glow of the trail lights on the snow is beautiful in its own right.

If you spot a slightly higher ticket price on certain dates in the booking calendar, that’s when the elves are opening their secret karaoke cabin deep in the forest for a few hours. Your ticket includes the walk and entry to the cabin. Drop in to sing your favourite song or stay a little while to see what everyone else picks.
🔥 Warm up at Tonttula Restaurant after your walk
Come in from the cold, take off your woolly hat, and wrap your hands around a steaming mug of hot chocolate by the fire. Tonttula Restaurant is open daily until 10 pm, and the kitchen is open until 9:30 pm. If you’d like to finish your evening with a leisurely dinner, choose an earlier time for your walk. A snowy forest, a warm restaurant, and a crackling fire. It feels like a scene from a romantic Christmas movie. 🤍
