Uncover Ancient Treasures on an Electric Fatbike Journey to the Historic Lampivaara Amethyst Mine


Embark on a unique morning adventure through the pristine landscapes of Pyhä-Luosto National Park, where an electrically assisted fatbike makes the climb to the summit of Lampivaara Fell both exciting and accessible. As you pedal through the Arctic wilderness, the forest gradually opens up to reveal expansive, breathtaking views of the surrounding fells. This guided tour is limited to small groups, ensuring a personal and unhurried experience as you ascend toward the site of the famous Amethyst Mine.


Upon reaching the summit, you will be welcomed into a traditional wooden shelter to learn the fascinating geological history of the amethyst. These rare gemstones were formed nearly two billion years ago deep within ancient mountain ranges, and today, they rest high above the landscape. The mine operates with a deep respect for the environment, avoiding heavy machinery and industrial extraction methods, which preserves the natural integrity of the area while allowing visitors to engage directly with the earth.


The highlight of the visit is the opportunity to search for your own amethyst stone. Because the mine is managed responsibly, visitors are encouraged to dig for their own treasures, which they can keep as a meaningful souvenir of their Arctic journey. Rather than being sold as raw bulk material, the stones found here are often refined locally into beautiful jewelry and unique design pieces, reflecting the commitment to sustainable and thoughtful craftsmanship that defines the entire operation.


This tour offers a perfect blend of physical activity and cultural discovery, making it an ideal choice for those interested in geology, nature, and sustainable tourism. The combination of the fatbike ride through the national park and the hands-on experience at the mine provides a deep connection to the region's history and natural beauty. Whether you are an avid cyclist or simply looking for an uncommon Arctic experience, this excursion promises a memorable morning in the heart of Lapland.

Very nice place surrounded by forest and mountains. Our family enjoyed the whole trip there and back (we even met plenty of reindeer!). At the mine, note that comfortable shoes are a must. You’ll be digging and picking stones, so don’t forget your gloves! The mining site is lovely, and the guides are friendly. The only downside was the limited time allowed for mining – that was a bit disappointing, but overall everyone found a little “gemstone.”

Did you know the colors in gemstones are actually caused by radiation? 🤔 Learned that today on my visit to the Pyhä-Luosto Amethyst Mine, one of the few gemstone mines in the world open to visitors year-round! The drive from Sodankylä took just about 30 minutes, and from the parking lot it’s an easy 2.5 km walk through the forest (took me 30 mins, though the website says 45). The tour, led by Ville (available in both Finnish and English), was incredibly informative and fun. Digging for amethyst was harder than I expected, but very rewarding – with the guide’s help I found 5 to take home! The staff made sure everyone left with something, which was such a nice touch. The mine sits on top of a fell, so the views are absolutely stunning. 😍 I also learned about their unique shareholder certificate, a lifetime pass that lets you come back anytime to dig, plus attend shareholder meetings and even a Christmas dinner. Imagine telling people you’re part-owner of a gem mine! All in all, such a memorable and unique experience. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!
