Scenic Lift Rides in Lapland with Panoramic Fell Views

What to Expect during your Scenic Lift experience

Lapland’s scenic lifts offer one of the most effortless and beautiful ways to experience the region’s landscapes. Glide above the forests, lakes, and trails as you ascend to the top of the fells, where sweeping views and crisp northern air await. These experiences are suitable for all ages and accessible to families, couples, and travelers looking for a calm yet inspiring moment in nature.

At Levi, the Gondola2000 and Express cabin lifts transport you gently to the summit, offering spectacular views of the surrounding wilderness. Once at the top, you can walk along the Peak Trail, visit Santa’s Cabin, or even descend by foot or summer sled. The gondolas are stroller and wheelchair accessible, and dogs are welcome to join the ride.

At Pyhä, the PyhäExpress Scenic Lift takes you to the edge of Pyhä-Luosto National Park, where the “Feel the Peak” experience begins. From the top, you can follow the Huttu-Ukko art route, step onto the 360° viewing platform, or relax in the Tunturivartija scenic hut overlooking the fells.

In Ruka, the Village-2-Valley gondola and VillageExpress chairlift offer an equally impressive experience, connecting the village and the fell summit with smooth, scenic rides suitable for both walkers and cyclists.

Each destination combines comfort and accessibility with unforgettable scenery, allowing you to enjoy Lapland’s landscapes from a whole new perspective.

Adventure and Flexibility

The scenic lifts operate throughout the summer and early autumn, with flexible options for round trips, one-way tickets, and connecting trails. Many lifts are accessible for wheelchairs, baby strollers, and even pets, making them ideal for families and all travelers.

You can choose to simply enjoy the view, combine your visit with a short hike, or stop for lunch at a summit restaurant. In the evenings, the golden light of the Midnight Sun adds a magical glow to the horizon, creating perfect moments for photography.
