Amethyst Mine Tour on Electric Fatbike

Discover the magic of the Amethyst Mine, open Monday to Saturday until mid-April, with two guided fatbike tours available daily. Your journey begins on a powerful, electrically assisted fatbike, riding to the top of Lampivaara fell where you can take in panoramic views of Pyhä-Luosto National Park. At a cozy wooden shelter, you will enjoy warm berry beverages while listening to fascinating stories about the geology, history, and unique properties of amethyst, as well as its traditional uses and local beliefs surrounding this captivating purple gemstone.

After the storytelling session, you will head to the digging area, partially covered by a roof to allow year-round amethyst searching. Each visitor has the chance to dig and discover their own personal lucky amethyst. At the end of the visit, there is time to explore the small on-site “Amethyst Shop,” where local amethyst is crafted into jewelry and other unique creations, providing a memorable keepsake from your adventure.
