You are invited to the world’s northernmost fencing tournament, the 2009 Levi Open Arctic Challenge. Located 150 km north of the Arctic Circle amid the spectacular nature of Finnish Lapland, Levi is also one of the fastest growing ski centers in Europe. For the last decade, fencers from around the world gathered in Levi each January for a celebration of sword and snow. This winter is no exception. We will be competing in men’s and women’s foil and epee. There will be awards for the top eight and top veteran in each event. After fencing you can relax in the indoor swimming pool overlooking the ski slopes, saunas and steam baths at the venue. While in Levi you can go from the fencing piste to the skiing piste. Levi, host to alpine skiing World Cup competitions, has 44 downhill pistes and 27 lifts including two gondolas. There are also 230 km of cross-country ski tracks and 886 km of snowmobile routes. If you stay a few extra days you can try your hand at driving a reindeer sled or mushing a team of huskies. With luck you might even see the aurora borealis at night.
