Description - What to expect

The sustainable Lampivaara Amethyst mine is possibly the only gemstone mine in the world that welcomes visitors. The Amethyst mine is located on the top of the hill. The owner tells the story about mine and describes the process of mining. After the introduction, you will go upper to dig up the lucky amethyst for yourself, which has waited 2000 million years to be found. Of course, you will be provided with special equipment and a snow-cat lift you on the hill. During midwinter time, when a veil of darkness covers Lapland, you may even see the Northern Lights in the middle of the day.



After the pick up from your hotel and 1.5 hours trip you will hop on to the snow-cat, a large snow vehicle, to the Lampivaara Amethyst mine. You will get the tools and guidance to dig out your very own rare, hidden gemstones. Before and after your search for the amethyst with the support of your professional guides, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding snow-covered Lappish landscapes.



Descending back down with the snowcat, you will warm yourself up around a bonfire, and prepare for lunch in the Lappish style. Delight in tasting the Finnish fish soup, reindeer meat sandwich, and sausages. End your Amethyst mine tour with a drive back to your accommodation.
