About this activity
Wintertime Amethyst Mine Visit

The Lapland Lampivaara Amethyst mine is a year-round travel destination where you can search for rare gemstones. Lampivaara was formed roughly 2,000 million years ago in the bellies of the ancient mountains.

Hop on to the snowcat, a large threaded snow vehicle, to the Lampivaara Amethyst mine. You will get the tools and a guidance to dig out your very own rare, hidden gemstones. As you search for your stones with the support of your professional guides, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding snow-covered Lappish landscapes. While you are there, you will be served refreshing berry juice and will hear stories about the amethyst. During the midwinter time, when a veil of darkness covers Lapland, you may even see the Northern Lights in the middle of the day.

Descending back down with the snowcat, you will warm yourself up around a bonfire, and prepare for a lunch in the Lappish style. Delight in tasting the Finnish fish soup, reindeer meat sandwich and sausages. Head back to the town with your own amethysts in your hands.
