Small groups ensure a personal and unhurried experience.Your journey begins on an electrically assisted fatbike as your Bliss guide leads you through the pristine landscapes of Pyh\u00e4-Luosto National Park and up to the summit of Lampivaara Fell \u2014 home to the Amethyst Mine. As you climb higher and the forest gives way to open views, the Arctic wilderness unfolds around you in every direction.At the summit, inside a traditional wooden shelter, you\u2019ll hear the remarkable story of the amethyst \u2014 formed nearly two billion years ago deep within ancient mountain ranges. Today, this rare deposit rests high above the surrounding landscape, offering a truly uncommon opportunity: to explore a working gemstone mine and search for your own amethyst.The mine operates gently and responsibly, without the use of heavy machinery. The amethyst is not extracted on an industrial scale, allowing visitors to search for their own stones. Rather than being sold as raw bulk material, the amethyst found here is refined locally into jewellery, meaningful design pieces and carefully crafted experiences.Then it\u2019s your turn.In the covered digging area \u2014 accessible even in winter \u2014 you\u2019ll search for your own personal lucky amethyst. And when you uncover it, you\u2019re holding something that began forming long before human history.Before descending, you\u2019ll have time to visit the small on-site Amethyst Shop, where beautifully crafted pieces carry the story of Lampivaara forward.Pick-up for this experience is available from the locations listed below for an additional fee.
