Levi, Lapland

Best Shopping in Levi (2026)

Updated 2026 · Curated by local scouts

Levi has the most shops of any Lapland resort: outdoor and sportswear stores and rental shops in the village, a well-stocked grocery for self-catering, and Lappish-design and souvenir outlets, with Kittilä town nearby for everything else.

Levi's village is the most shop-rich of the Lapland fells. Here's where to find gear, groceries and local design.

Levi village shops

The compact village centre packs in Levi's shops, outdoor and sportswear, boutiques and Lappish-design and souvenir outlets, all within an easy walk of the slopes and restaurants. As Lapland's most developed resort, Levi has more retail than its rivals, so it's the easiest place in the north to browse between activities. Convenient and varied for a fell resort.

Location is approximate.

From the scout

Everything's walkable in the centre; combine shopping with a coffee or lunch stop.

Sport shops & rental

Levi's sport shops are the most useful retail in town, full-service rental and retail for skis, snowboards and summer mountain bikes, plus clothing, accessories and workshop servicing. Renting here lets you travel light and swap gear as conditions change, and staff know the local slopes and trails. The first stop for anyone arriving to ski or ride.

From the scout

Rent rather than haul gear; you can often pick up near the lifts and swap mid-trip.

Village grocery

A well-stocked supermarket in the village is essential for Levi's many self-catering apartments and cabins, covering everyday groceries plus local Lappish products like cloudberry jam and smoked fish. Stocking up here saves the trip into Kittilä and keeps cabin life easy. Practical, central and open long hours in season.

Look for local Lapland products like cloudberry and smoked reindeer to take home.

Kittilä town shops

About 15 km away, Kittilä town has the bigger supermarkets, specialist shops and services you won't find up at the resort, the place for a proper shop, pharmacy or anything the village lacks. It's also where you'll find more everyday local life. Worth the short trip if you're staying a while or need more than Levi offers.
