Why a €20,000 gold bar has been hidden by a resort in Lapland – and how you can find it

  • A resort in Lapland has hidden a bar of gold worth €20,000 (£17,000), which is free for the first person to find it.
  • The “Midnight Sun Hunt” in Levi aims to attract visitors to the region during the summer, when the sun never sets.
  • The 24-hour a day hunt is scheduled to begin on 18 June and will run until late August, or until the gold bar – which appears to be quite small in size – is discovered.
  • Participants will follow a series of clues, released throughout the summer, which will guide them closer to the hidden prize.
  • Organised by Visit Levi and partners, the hunt advises participants to stay within permitted areas and respect the natural environment, while no digging is required.
