Take the unique opportunity to visit a gemstone mine. Hop in the snowcat and enjoy a ride up a snowy mountain with beautiful views of the Finnish wild nature. Listen to the owner who will explain to you everything you want to know about the mine and the mining process.

After you get the chance to look for your own lucky amethyst. To finish off you will enjoy a delicious local Lappish BBQ lunch including sausages, fish soup, and blueberry tea. As a souvenir, you get to keep a lucky amethyst for yourself.

Fabulous experience the whole family enjoyed it. The guide Albert was fantastic, safedriver, nothing was too much trouble

Hemos pasado un día excepcional con la visita a la mina de Amatista y la comida en la Laavu. Pero sobretodo muchas gracias a Matías, nuestro guía, que ha hecho que el día saliera perfecto.
