Every year in February hot-air balloons fly through the skies over the mountain resort, Levi in Finland, in its hot-air balloon festival. Balloons from different countries are invited to fly in arctic weather.

The public also has the chance to hop on board and see the beautiful winter scenery of Lapland from above.

During the evening, balloons set off in the dark offering a different light spectacular with their illuminating burners.
