HIKING AND TREKKING AT LEVI

Climb to the fell to hear the silence, stay the night in an open wilderness hut,
experience the nightless night, drink from a stream or enjoy the campfire in
your own peace. Levi is a true paradise for hikers!

The easiest way to become familiar with Levi and the surrounding environment is to select
a suitable destination and simply walk there. A short hike works in any weather,
despite the season and time of day, and furthermore, it is beneficial to both
your physical and mental health!

The best thing about trekking and hiking is that there’s no rush.
When you are moving on your feet, you will automatically slow down
and the rush inside your head will disappear while observing the details of nature. 
While travelling on foot, you can see a lot more and relax your soul in the stunning landscape.
