About this activity

Amethyst Mine is open Monday to Saturday until mid-April, with one guided fatbike departure each morning. 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 Pyhä-Luosto National Park and up to the summit of Lampivaara Fell — 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’ll hear the remarkable story of the amethyst — 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’s your turn.

In the covered digging area — accessible even in winter — you’ll search for your own personal lucky amethyst. And when you uncover it, you’re holding something that began forming long before human history.

Before descending, you’ll have time to visit the small on-site Amethyst Shop, where beautifully crafted pieces carry the story of Lampivaara forward.
