Lake Immeljärvi
Small lake a short walk from Levi centre, marked on Levi's own aurora map; the ice is thin near the river mouth at the north end, so stay on marked trails.

Before you go
Thin ice at the north end (river mouth) and at the sauna ice hole: walk on the lake only after the winter trails are officially open.
Dress for standing still in the cold, bring a head torch with a red light, and park only where parking is allowed. A forecast is guidance, not a promise: check the road and weather warnings for Finland before a night drive. See our winter safety note.
