In summertime, long days offer great daylight and beautiful colours when reaching the summits. In autumn, the national park is a great place to experience the famous “ruska” time, the autumn season with all its colourful features!
You will continue your hike until you reach the Lampivaara amethyst mine. This is a unique place in Lapland, hidden on one of the hilltops that you can reach by foot to better enjoy the adventure! You will then learn more about local geology, the formation of the precious amethyst and the story of the mine. At the end of the visit, you will dig the soil to find your own amethyst that you can keep!

Pyha-Luosto National Park
You will then enter the old forests, and hike to the top of one of the fells where you will have a splendid view to the never-ending horizon! Pyhä-Luosto national park consists of a fells chain (“tunturi”), which offers impressive and typical Lappish landscapes that you cannot find in the Rovaniemi area.
You will continue your hike until you reach the Lampivaara amethyst mine. This is a unique place in Lapland, hidden on one of the hilltops that you can reach by foot in summer, to better enjoy the adventure! You will then learn more about local geology, the formation of the precious amethyst and the story of the mine. At the end of the visit, you will dig the soil to find your own amethyst that you can keep!
