Spectacular ice sculptures and sunny ski days guarantee fun for all in Levi’s spring Icium, a wonderworld of ice graces the foot of Finland’s most popular ski resort Levi in the municipality of Kittilä, Lapland. Built by expert Chinese ice sculptors, Icium features many Finnish and international landmarks including the Helsinki Cathedral and the Great Wall of China, chiselled out of ice with astonishing precision. Icium is expected to stay intact until April.
